Every engineer, mathematician, and scientist requires an understanding of matrix theory in order to solve linear problems by digital computation, and this comprehensive treatment offers a solid introduction to the discipline. Mathematically rigorous for students of pure and applied mathematics, and applications-oriented for students of engineering, science, and the social sciences, it also contains the basic preparation in matrix theory necessary for numerical analysis, making it ideal for students interested in computers. Topics include the most commonly used diagonalizations or triangularizations of Hermitian and non-Hermitian matrices, the matrix theorem of Jordan, variational principles and perturbation theory of matrices, matrix numerical analysis, and an in-depth analysis of linear computations. Very little mathematical background is assumed beyond an elementary grasp of algebra and calculus. Useful problems appear at the end each chapter.

Mathematically rigorous introduction covers vector and matrix norms, the condition-number of a matrix, positive and irreducible matrices, much more. Only elementary algebra and calculus required. Problem-solving exercises. 1968 ed.
