Fundamentals of Matrix Analysis With Applications

“Providing comprehensive coverage of matrix theory from a geometric and physical perspective, the book describes the functionality of matrices and their ability to quantify and analyze many practical applications. Written by a highly qualified author team, the book presents tools for matrix analysis and is illustrated with extensive examples and software implementations.” (Zentralblatt MATH 2016)

“This is a straightforward modern introduction to matrices….. a very well done text, probably most suitable for engineering students.” (Mathematical Association of America 2016) Providing comprehensive coverage of matrix theory from a geometric and physical perspective, the book describes the functionality of matrices and their ability to quantify and analyze many practical applications. Written by a highly qualied author team, the book presents tools for matrix analysis and is illustrated with extensive examples and software implementations.

Edward Barry Saff, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Director of the Center for Constructive Approximation at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Saff is an Inaugural Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, Foreign Member of the Bulgarian Academy of Science, and the recipient of both a Guggenheim and Fulbright Fellowship. He is Editor-in-Chief of two research journals, Constructive Approximation and Computational Methods and Function Theory, and has authored or co-authored over 250 journal articles and eight books. Dr. Saff also serves as an organizer for a sequence of international research conferences that help to foster the careers of mathematicians from developing countries.

Arthur David Snider, PhD, is Professor Emeritus at the University of South Florida (USF), where he served on the faculties of the Departments of Mathematics, Physics, and Electrical Engineering. Previously an analyst at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Draper Lab and recipient of the USF Krivanek Distinguished Teacher Award, he consults in industry and has authored or co-authored over 100 journal articles and eight books. With the support of National Science Foundation, Dr. Snider also pioneered a course in fine art appreciation for engineers.
