Numerical Linear Algebra [Hardcover]

This book distinguishes itself from the many other textbooks on the topic of linear algebra by including mathematical and computational chapters along with examples and exercises with Matlab. In recent years, the use of computers in many areas of engineering and science has made it essential for students to get training in numerical methods and computer programming. Here, the authors use both Matlab and SciLab software as well as covering core standard material. It is intended for libraries; scientists and researchers; pharmaceutical industry.

Unlike the many other textbooks on the topic of linear algebra, this book includes mathematical and computational chapters along with examples and exercises with Matlab. The authors use both Matlab and SciLab software as well as covering core standard material.

From the reviews:

Allaire (?cole Polytechnique, France) and Kaber (Universit? Pierre et Marie Curie, France) taught a numerical linear algebra course to third-year undergraduates; this work, initially published in French, is the culmination of that course. & What sets this book apart from others on the subject is its experimental approach in all exercises. For many exercises, the book provides complete solutions including MATLAB scripts & . Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners. (J. T. Zerger, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (10), June, 2008)

The book is concerned with two main aspects from the field of matrix computations: solving linear systems of equations and, respectively, computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices. It is intended ls!
