Advanced Linear AlgebraAuthor(s): Hugo Woerdeman\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: Chapman & Hall/CRC\nISBN-13: 9781498754033, 978-1498754033\nSynopsis\nAdvanced Linear Algebra features a student-friendly approach to the theory of linear algebra. The authors emphasis on vector spaces over general fields, with corresponding current applications, sets the book apart. He focuses on finite fields and complex numbers, and discusses matrix algebra over these fields. The text then proceeds to cover vector spaces in depth. Also discussed are standard topics in linear algebra including linear transformations, Jordan canonical form, inner product spaces, spectral theory, and, as supplementary topics, dual spaces, quotient spaces, and tensor products. \n\nWritten in clear and concise language, the text sticks to the development of linear algebra without excessively addressing applications. A unique chapter on \""How to Use Linear Algebra\"" is off.
