Description
This book rigorously deals with the abstract theory and, at the same time, devotes considerable space to the numerical and computational aspects of linear algebra. It features a large number of thumbnail portraits of researchers who have contributed to the development of linear algebra as we know it today and also includes over 1,000 exercises, many of which are very challenging. The book can be used as a self-study guide; a textbook for a course in advanced linear algebra, either at the upper-class undergraduate level or at the first-year graduate level; or as a reference book.
