This book evolved from a course at our university for beginning graduate stu- dents in mathematics-particularly students who intended to specialize in ap- plied mathematics. The content of the course made it attractive to other math- ematics students and to graduate students from other disciplines such as en- gineering, physics, and computer science. Since the course was designed for two semesters duration, many topics could be included and dealt with in de- tail. Chapters 1 through 6 reflect roughly the actual nature of the course, as it was taught over a number of years. The content of the...

This monograph deals with the development of algorithms or the derivation of approximations from linear projections.

Contains historical background and discussion of results for each chapter, References, and an Index.

Ward Cheney And David Kincaid Have Developed Linear Algebra: Theory And Applications, Second Edition, A Multi-Faceted Introductory Textbook, Which Was Motivated By Their Desire For A Single Text That Meets The Various Requirements For Differing Courses Within Linear Algebra. For Theoretically-Oriented Students, The Text Guides Them As They Devise Proofs And Deal With Abstractions By Focusing On A Comprehensive Blend Between Theory And Applications. For Application-Oriented Science And Engineering Students, It Contains Numerous Exercises That Help Them Focus On Understanding And Learning Not...
