Mathematics of Matrices
Philip J. Davis, "Mathematics of Matrices"
MgH | 1973 | ISBN: 0471009288, 0536009287, 0898747562 | 348 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Preface to the Second Edition
THE USE OF MATRICES has now extended beyond mathematics and the physical sciences to business and economics, psychology, and the social and political sciences. The wide use of the first edition of this book confirms the opinion that matrix algebra can and should be introduced to the student as early as possible.
In the years since preparing the first edition, time-sharing computer facilities and interactive languages have become widely available. Many of these languages (such as APL) have extremely convenient matrix implementation which is close to classical matrix notation. This makes available many simplifications in setting up computation and hence is a further reason for learning matrix algebra.
I have recently been using this text for the matrix part of a freshman course called "The Introduction to Applied Mathematics." This course uses computer facilities routinely and-while by no means necessary- believe the computer serves at once to drive home certain theoretical points and to offer the opportunity of handling problems of realistic proportions.
In the Second Edition of this book, a number of minor errors present in the first edition have been eliminated.
