With these target readers in mind, we set out to provide an adequate treatment of Linear Algebra concepts that enables them to tackle relevant Earth Science problems. It aims at striking a balance between mathematical theories and physical (mainly Earth Science) applications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the first part, it contains a comprehensive review of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatrix and Vector Operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVector (Inner Product) Spaces and Linear Transformations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEigenvalues\/Eigenvectors and Diagonalization, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, the topics of the second part include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrincipal Component Analysis (PCA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeast-square Linear Regression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete Fourier Transform (DFT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarkov Chains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatrix Factorization Methods such as Cholesky\/L(D)U\/SVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamical Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuum Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData Assimilation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn each chapter, we focus on a selected Linear Algebra topic, motivated by Earth Science examples (if available) and supplemented with Python programming tutorials. At the end of each chapter, a number of exercises (answered, a total of 136) are given for elucidating the concepts and working on Earth Science projects.
