Matrix Theory With Applications (International Series in Pure and Applied Mathematics)

This course, generally called Linear Algebra, is usually taught in mathematics departments as a service course for engineers. While there is no real prerequisite other than algebra, students will need a calculus of differential equations background to appreciate this course. Special features include several optional sub-sections with exercises devoted to the use of MATLAB software as a computational tool; theoretical foundations and significant applications with worked problems; definitions and theoretical ideas are followed by illustrative examples; graded problems - broken down extensively into four categories - drill problems; argumentative problems; more challenging problems; and solving problems using MATLAB.
