  • 9788181283023
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 512.5 23 K98
Contents:
1. Linear equations and matrices -- 2. Determinants -- 3. Vector spaces -- 4. Linear transformations -- 5. Inner product spaces -- 6. Diagonalization -- 7. Complex vector spaces -- 8. Jordan canonical forms -- 9. Quadratic forms.
Summary: "A cornerstone of undergraduate mathematics, science, and engineering, this presentation of the fundamentals of linear algebra is unique in its emphasis and integration of computational skills and mathematical abstractions. The power and utility of this subject is demonstrated, in particular, in its focus on linear recurrence, difference and differential equations that affect applications in physics, computer science, and economics." "This second edition includes new material on minimal polynomials and diagonalization as well as a variety of new applications. The text will serve theoretical and applied courses and is ideal for self-study. With its important approach to linear algebra as a coherent part of mathematics and as a vital component of the natural and social sciences, Linear Algebra, Second Edition will challenge and benefit a broad audience."--
