The present book, stemmin g from the first four chap ters of the authors' Tensor Calculus (Moscow, 1969), constitutes a lucid and completely elementary introduction to linear algebra. The treatment is virtually self-contained. In fact, the mathematical background assumed on the part of the reader hardly exceeds a smattering of calculus and a casual acquaintance with determinants. A special merit of the book, reflecting its lineage, is its free use of tensor notation, in particular the Einstein summation convention.
J.D. Salinger's powerful fiction and enigmatic persona have captivated readers for more than 50 years.
