Using a modern matrix-based approach, this rigorous second course in linear algebra helps upper-level undergraduates in mathematics, data science, and the physical sciences transition from basic theory to advanced topics and applications. Its clarity of exposition together with many illustrations, 900+ exercises, and 350 conceptual and numerical examples aid the student's understanding. Concise chapters promote a focused progression through essential ideas. Topics are derived and discussed in detail, including the singular value decomposition, Jordan canonical form, spectral theorem, QR factorization, normal matrices, Hermitian matrices, and positive definite matrices. Each chapter ends with a bullet list summarizing important concepts. New to this edition are chapters on matrix norms and positive matrices, many new sections on topics including interpolation and LU factorization, 300+ more problems, many new examples, and color-enhanced figures. Prerequisites include a first course in linear algebra and basic calculus sequence. Instructor's resources are available.

Linear algebra and matrix theory are fundamental tools in mathematical and physical science, as well as fertile fields for research. This second edition of this acclaimed text presents results of both classic and recent matrix analysis using canonical forms as a unifying theme and demonstrates their importance in a variety of applications. This thoroughly revised and updated second edition is a text for a second course on linear algebra and has more than 1,100 problems and exercises, new sections on the singular value and CS decompositions and the Weyr canonical form, expanded treatments of inverse problems and of block matrices, and much more.

Building on the foundations of its predecessor volume, Matrix Analysis, this book treats in detail several topics with important applications and of special mathematical interest in matrix theory not included in the previous text. These topics include the field of values, stable matrices and inertia, singular values, matrix equations and Kronecker products, Hadamard products, and matrices and functions. The authors assume a background in elementary linear algebra and knowledge of rudimentary analytical concepts. This should be welcomed by graduate students and researchers in a variety of mathematical fields and as an advanced text and modern reference book.
