DESCRIPTION
This well‐organized text provides a clear analysis of the fundamental concepts of numerical linear
algebra.   It   presents   various   numerical   methods   for   the   basic  topics   of   linear   algebra   with   a
detailed discussion on theory, algorithms, and MATLAB implementa on.

The book provides a review of matrix algebra and its important results in the opening chapter
and   examines   these   results   in   the   subsequent   chapters.   With   clear   explana ons,   the   book
analyzes different kinds of numerical algorithms for solving linear algebra such as the elimina on
and   itera ve   methods   for   linear   systems,   the   condi on   number   of   a   matrix,   singular   value
decomposi on (SVD) of a matrix, and linear least‐squares problem. In addi on, it describes the
Householder and Givens matrices and their applica ons, and the basic numerical methods for
solving   the   matrix   eigenvalue   problem.   Finally,   the   text   reviews   the   numerical   methods   for
systems and control.

Key Features

? Includes numerous worked‐out examples to help students grasp the concepts easily.

? Provides chapter‐end exercises to enable students to check their comprehension of the topics
discussed.

? Gives answers to exercises with hints at the end of the book.

? Uses MATLAB so ware for problem‐solving.

Primarily designed as a textbook for postgraduate students of Mathema cs, this book would also
serve as a handbook on matrix computa ons for scien sts and engineers.
