Linear algebra permeates mathematics, perhaps more so than any
other single subject. It plays an essential role in pure and
applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, and many aspects
of physics and engineering. This book conveys in a user-friendly
way the basic and advanced techniques of linear algebra from the
point of view of a working analyst. The techniques are illustrated
by a wide sample of applications and examples that are chosen to
highlight the tools of the trade. In short, this is material that
many of us wish we had been taught as a graduate student. Roughly
the first third of the book covers the basic material of a first
course in linear algebra. The remaining chapters are devoted to
applications drawn from vector calculus, numerical analysis,
control theory, complex analysis, convexity and functional
analysis. In particular, fixed point theorems, extremal problems,
matrix equations, zero location and eigenvalue location problems,
and matrices with nonnegative entries are discussed. Appendices on
useful facts from analysis and supplementary information from
complex function theory are also provided for the convenience of
the reader. In this new edition, most of the chapters in the first
edition have been revised, some extensively. The revisions include
changes in a number of proofs, either to simplify the argument, to
make the logic clearer or, on occasion, to sharpen the result. New
introductory sections on linear programming, extreme points for
polyhedra and a Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem have been
added, as have some very short introductory sections on the
mathematics behind Google, Drazin inverses, band inverses and
applications of SVD together with a number of new exercises.
