This book gives a self- contained treatment of linear algebra with
many of its most important applications. It is very unusual if not
unique in being an elementary book which does not neglect arbitrary
fields of scalars and the proofs of the theorems. It will be useful
for beginning students and also as a reference for graduate
students and others who need an easy to read explanation of the
important theorems of this subject.It presents a self- contained
treatment of the algebraic treatment of linear differential
equation which includes all proofs. It also contains many different
proofs of the Cayley Hamilton theorem. Other applications include
difference equations and Markov processes, the latter topic
receiving a more thorough treatment than usual, including the
theory of absorbing states. In addition it contains a complete
introduction to the singular value decomposition and related topics
like least squares and the pseudo-inverse.Most major topics receive
more than one discussion, one in the text and others being outlined
in the exercises. The book also gives directions for using maple in
performing many of the difficult algorithms.
