Abstract:

Building on a foundation of linear algebra – and, for the later chapters, real analysis -- this course introduces students to the realm of nonlinear transformations by means of affinities, which are linear translations plus a nonzero shift. Intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. The notes can be used for a class of several students, undergraduate or graduate, or as a guide for independent study.
