Linear Algebra and MatricesAuthor(s): Shmuel Friedland, Mohsen Aliabadi\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics,U.S., United States\nImprint: Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics,U.S.\nISBN-13: 9781611975130, 978-1611975130\nSynopsis\nThis introductory textbook grew out of several courses in linear algebra given over more than a decade and includes such helpful material as:\n\nconstructive discussions about the motivation of fundamental concepts\nmany worked-out problems in each chapter, and\ntopics rarely covered in typical linear algebra textbooks.\n\nThe authors use abstract notions and arguments to give the complete proof of the Jordan canonical form and, more generally, the rational canonical form of square matrices over fields. They also provide the notion of tensor products of vector spaces and linear transformations. Matrices are treated in depth, with coverage of the stability of matrix iterations, the eigenvalue properties.
