Could someone please explain the difference between Gilbert Strang's "Introduction to Linear Algebra" and his "Linear Algebra and Its Applications"? Thank you.

    In my memory, the former lesson didn't show too many applications besides Fibonacci numbers, high order linear ODEs, etc.2012-10-21

    I got another answer from Ronyee from OpenStudy (MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra, Spring 2010): "I think Introduction to Linear Algebra tells us the crucial concept of Linear Algebra. Actually it has some applications but It's like a textbook. But Linear Algebra and its application is more concentrating on adapting Linear Algebra to solve a problem we faced! Conclusion: Textbook -> Adapting to solve problem in reality or supporting some engineering concepts!"2012-10-21
