This publication is the successor of the third edition of the book "Linear Algebra I" published by the authors with their previous publisher. It is used as the course lecture notes for the undergraduate module MA1101R, Linear Algebra I , offered by the Department of Mathematics at the National University of Singapore. This module is the first course on linear algebra and it serves as an introduction to the basic concepts of linear algebra that are routinely applied in diverse fields such as science, engineering, statistics, economics and computing. Mindful that majority of the students taking this module are new to the subject , we have chosen to introduce the concepts of linear algebra in the context of Euclidean spaces rather than to jump straight into abstract vector spaces , which will be covered in the second course. The set up in Euclidean spaces also facilitates the connections between the algebraic and geometric viewpoints of linear algebra.
