Reviews
From the reviews:
“This work addresses all of the standard fare associated with an introductory course in linear algebra, albeit with an applied perspective appropriate for the audience suggested by its title. … Readers wishing to apply the methods of linear algebra to engineering problems would certainly find this book appropriate. … Summing Up: Recommended. Academic libraries serving upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.” (D. S. Larson, Choice, Vol. 48 (7), March, 2011)
“This book meets the needs of engineers and scientists for an introduction to linear algebra in a context they understand. It provides a very detailed treatment of the theory of matrices … . There are numerous worked examples throughout the book and sets of exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, with all the solutions given at the end of the book. A special effort is made to keep all numerical calculations simple.” (Rabe von Randow, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1210, 2011)
