The second edition of Matrix Analysis and Applied Linear Algebra has been almost completely rewritten to create a textbook designed to provide flexibility for nearly any desired degree of rigor and depth of coverage. Throughout, there are carefully constructed exercises ranging from easy to moderately challenging to difficult, many of which condition students for topics that follow. The Study and Solutions Guide contains discussions of each exercise that are designed to guide the development as one moves through the subject.

This second edition has been almost completely rewritten to create a textbook designed to provide flexibility for nearly any desired degree of rigor and depth of coverage. This is achieved with a linear development ensuring that material at any point is not dependent on subsequent developments and by means of graduated levels of sophistication. The text moves from traditional first principles in early chapters to deeper topics involving both theory and applications in later chapters. This allows for a traditional single-term course based on roughly half of the text without having to refer to...

This second edition has been almost completely rewritten to create a textbook designed so instructors can determine the degree of rigor and flexible enough for a one- or two-semester course. The author achieves this by increasing the level of sophistication as the text proceeds from traditional first principles in the early chapters to theory and applications in the later ones, and by ensuring that material at any point is not dependent on subsequent developments. While theorems and proofs are highlighted, the emphasis is on applications. The author provides carefully constructed exercises...
