Matrix Theory and Applications for Scientists and Engineers

A comprehensive text on matrix theory and its applications this book is intended for a broad range of students in mathematics engineering and other areas of science at the university level. Author Alexander Graham avoids a simple catalogue of techniques by exploring the concepts' underlying principles as well as their numerous applications. Many problems elucidate the text which includes a substantial answer section at the end. The treatment explores matrices vector spaces linear transformations and the rank and determinant of a matrix. Additional topics include linear equations eigenvectors and eigenvalues canonical forms and matrix functions and inverting a matrix. A Solution to Problems Section References and a Bibliography conclude the treatment.
