Linear Algebra (2nd Edition)

comprehensive treatment of the subject. How it differs from the version: The first part of the book contains more examples concerning linear equations and computations with matrices. In addition, there are more problems of an elementary nature designed to clarify the basic computational aspects of the subject. The material on characteristic values, characteristic vectors, and diagonalization of matrices is reorganized so that the elementary and geometrically intuitive concepts are presented first. Table Of Contents Linear Equations. Vector Spaces. Linear Transformations. Polynomials. Determinants. Elementary Canonical Forms. The Rational and Jordan Forms. Inner Product Spaces. Operators on Inner Product Spaces. Bilinear Forms. Appendices. Bibliography. Index.
