Summary:"Matrix groups touch an enormous spectrum of the mathematical arena. This textbook brings them into the undergraduate curriculum. It makes an excellent one semester course for students familiar with linear and abstract algebra and prepares them for a graduate course on Lie groups." "Matrix Groups for Undergraduates is concrete and example driven, with geometric motivation and rigorous proofs. The story begins and ends with the rotations of a globe. In between, the author combines tigor and intuition to describe basic objects of Lie theory, Lie algebras, matrix exponentiation, Lie brackets, and maximal tori."--BOOK JACKET.
