Engineers and scientists need to have an introduction to the basics
of linear algebra in a context they understand. Computer algebra
systems make the manipulation of matrices and the determination of
their properties a simple matter, and in practical applications
such software is often essential. However, using this tool when
learning about matrices, without first gaining a proper
understanding of the underlying theory, limits the ability to use
matrices and to apply them to new problems. This book explains
matrices in the detail required by engineering or science students,
and it discusses linear systems of ordinary differential equations.
These students require a straightforward introduction to linear
algebra illustrated by applications to which they can relate. It
caters of the needs of undergraduate engineers in all disciplines,
and provides considerable detail where it is likely to be helpful.
According to the author the best way to understand the theory of
matrices is by working simple exercises designed to emphasize the
theory, that at the same time avoid distractions caused by
unnecessary numerical calculations. Hence, examples and exercises
in this book have been constructed in such a way that wherever
calculations are necessary they are straightforward. For example,
when a characteristic equation occurs, its roots (the eigenvalues
of a matrix) can be found by inspection. The author of this book is
Alan Jeffrey, Emeritus Professor of mathematics at the University
of Newcastle upon Tyne. He has given courses on engineering
mathematics at UK and US Universities.
