Description:

Fundamentals of Matrix Computations, Third Edition thoroughly details matrix computations and the accompanying theory alongside the author's useful insights. Featuring many new and updated examples and exercises that use the MATLABr language, this revision presents the most important algorithms of numerical linear algebra and helps readers to understand how the algorithms are developed and why they work. It also includes modern coverage of Singular Value Decomposition, a streamlined discussion of the Gram-Schmidt process, and a discussion on balancing the eigenvalue problem. Practicing scientists and graduate and advanced undergraduate students will find this popular book more than meets…
