Matrix TheoryAuthor(s): Xingzhi Zhan\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: American Mathematical Society, United States\nImprint: American Mathematical Society\nISBN-13: 9780821894910, 978-0821894910\nSynopsis\nMatrix theory is a classical topic of algebra that had originated, in its current form, in the middle of the 19th century. It is remarkable that for more than 150 years it continues to be an active area of research full of new discoveries and new applications. \n\nThis book presents modern perspectives of matrix theory at the level accessible to graduate students. It differs from other books on the subject in several aspects. First, the book treats certain topics that are not found in the standard textbooks, such as completion of partial matrices, sign patterns, applications of matrices in combinatorics, number theory, algebra, geometry, and polynomials. There is an appendix of unsolved problems with their history and current state. Second, there is some new material within traditiona.
