Applied Linear Algebra and Matrix Analysis (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780387331942)

This text is intended for a one or two semester sophomore level course in linear algebra. It is designed to provide a balance of applications, theory and computation, and to emphasize their interdependence. The text has a strong orientation towards numerical computation and the linear algebra needed in applied mathematics. At the same time, it contains a rigorous and self-contained development of most of the traditional topics in a linear algebra course. It provides background for numerous projects, which frequently require computational tools, but is not tied to any one computational platform. A comprehensive set of exercises and projects is included.
