This second edition of Matrix Analysis is a comprehensive resource featuring numerous exercises and updated content, ideal for advanced linear algebra courses.
The second edition of Matrix Analysis has been thoroughly revised and updated, making it an essential resource for students taking a second course in linear algebra. This edition features over 1,100 problems and exercises, which provide ample opportunity for practice and mastery of the material. New sections have been added, focusing on key topics such as singular value decomposition, CS decompositions, and the Weyr canonical form, ensuring that readers are well-equipped with the latest developments in the field.
Matrix Analysis emphasizes the importance of linear algebra and matrix theory as fundamental tools in both mathematical and physical sciences. The book presents a comprehensive overview of both classic and contemporary matrix analysis, with canonical forms serving as a unifying theme throughout. This approach not only highlights the theoretical aspects but also demonstrates the practical applications of matrix analysis across various disciplines.
In addition to the new content, the second edition has expanded treatments of inverse problems and block matrices, making it more relevant for today's learners. The extensive range of exercises and problems encourages independent exploration and deeper understanding of the subject matter. Overall, this updated edition of Matrix Analysis is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge in linear algebra and matrix theory.
Review of the first edition: 'The presentation is straightforward and extremely readable. The authors' enthusiasm pervades the book, and the printing is what we expect from this publisher. This will doubtless be the standard text for years to come.' American Scientist
Review of the first edition: 'The reviewer strongly recommends that those working in either pure or applied linear algebra have this book on their desks.' SIAM Review
Review of the first edition: 'There seems little doubt that the book will become a standard reference for research workers in numerical mathematics.' Computing Reviews
Review of the first edition: 'The authors have done an excellent job of supplying linear algebraists and applied mathematicians with a well-organized comprehensive survey, which can serve both as a text and as a reference.' Linear Algebra and its Applications
'The book is well organized, completely readable, and very enlightening. For researchers in matrix analysis, matrix computations, applied linear algebra, or computational science, this second edition is a valuable book.' Jesse L. Barlow, Computing Reviews
'With the additional material and exceedingly clear exposition, this book will remain the go-to book for graduate students and researchers alike in the area of linear algebra and matrix theory. I suspect there are few readers who will go through this book and not learn many new things. It is an invaluable reference for anyone working in this area.' Anne Greenbaum, SIAM Review
'The new edition is clearly a must-have for anyone seriously interested in matrix analysis.' Nick Higham, Applied Mathematics, Software and Workflow blog
