Product Description: Linear algebra and matrix theory are essentially synonymous terms for an area of mathematics that has become one of the most useful and pervasive tools in a wide range of disciplines It is also a subject of great mathematical beauty In consequence of both of these facts linear algebra has increasingly been brought into lower levels of the curriculum either in conjunction with the calculus or separate from it but at the same level A large and still growing number of textbooks has been written to satisfy this need aimed at students at the junior sophomore or even freshman levels Thus most students now obtaining a bachelor s degree in the sciences or engineering have had some exposure to linear algebra But rarely even when solid courses are taken at the junior or senior levels do these students have an adequate working knowledge of the subject to be useful in graduate work or in research and development activities in government and industry In particular most elementary courses stop at the point of canonical forms so that while the student may have seen the Jordan and other canonical forms there is usually little appreciation of their usefulness And there is almost never time in the elementary courses to deal with more specialized topics like nonnegative matrices inertia theorems and so on In consequence many graduate courses in mathematics applied mathe matics or applications develop certain parts of matrix theory as neede...read more
