Nothing impresses potential math majors more than when they are told how many mathematicians work in the film industry. This book fits into the high end of the second course; it is almost exclusively proofs, although the author cannot resist putting in a few pages of computation.

In that niche, this book is excellent, Weintraub keeps the math flowing, appropriately directional and justified, and it is a rare occasion when he passes on including the detailed proof. There are some times when a part of the proof is not included, but it is rare and generally inconsequential. If you have any current or potential need for understanding the theory of linear algebra, this is a book that you need to have on your easy access shelf. --Charles Ashbacher, Journal of Recreational Mathematics Linear algebra occupies a central place in pure mathematics. It plays an essential role in such widely differing fields as Galois theory, function spaces and homological algebra. In this context linear algebra is about vector spaces and linear transformations, not about matrices. The natural and perhaps most enlightening approach to the canonical forms for linear transformations on finite-dimensional vector spaces, one of the main goals of this book, is via the basic structure theorems for modules over a principal ideal domain, but the author has not gone that far. The infinite-dimensional case is, however, treated. Thus, the book is for advanced students of pure mathematics and not for those requiring a textbook on numerically applicable linear algebra. It is, moreover, written in a style to which a student of pure mathematics is fully accustomed. Although the book is for advanced students, it begins with the basics, but it does not deal with matrix operations or the solution of systems of linear equations. The chapter headings are: (1) Vector spaces and linear transformations, (2) Coordinates, (3) Determinants, (4) and (5) The structure of a linear transformation I and II, (6) Bilinear, sesquilinear and quadratic forms, (7) Real and complex inner product spaces, (8) Matrix groups as Lie groups, Appendix A: Polynomials.

Maybe stuff like Tensor Products, Projective injective flat modules, homological algebra, representation theory, Galois Theory, and Algebraic Number Theory. Everything takes place in the reals and complex numbers. The class begins with row reducing and culminates with finding determinants and eigenvalues. I don't remember which book we use for this but it's terrible and the class is very easy. For this we use Lang's linear algebra. More emphasis is placed on the spectral theorem than anything, with Jordan form and convex sets only if the class moves fast enough so there's time. An example of a book they may use is Roman, which I have used as a reference many times and I must say I like very much. It really depends on what the first course consists of and this varies enormously from university to university depending not only on the background and career paths of the students, but the aims of the instructor. It can be a largely applied course where rigorous theorems about linear transformations and abstract vector spaces are either largely avoided or downplayed, such as those based on Gilbert Strang's textbooks. And there are textbooks which try to steer a middle course between the 2 extremes, developing both theory and application in more or less equal measure. The classic example of this kind of course is Charles Curtis' textbook. Gilbert Strang's justly famous course at MIT, for example, is a course built around the applications of linear algebra to real world problems. But it's hardly a plug-and-chug, mindless algorithm course: Strang analyzes each application and algorithm, as well as the theory behind it, thoroughly. But at the same time, it's not really an abstract mathematics course the way we describe it-the deep theorems and proofs of linear algebra, while not ignored, are not really the core concerns of the class. For Strang, the abstract theory of linear algebra is really the domain of an abstract algebra course. (Indeed, Strang's course is partially designed to provide a mastery of the computational aspects of linear algebra needed for MIT students to go on to effectively study modern algebra in Micheal Artin's equally famous course!). However, this is MIT we're talking about-hardly your average program with average mathematics majors. At most universities, this material is covered in serious abstract algebra courses at either honors undergraduate or first-year graduate level. This means the study of R-modules over commutative rings in the special case where R is a commutative division ring i.e. a field. This means modules, algebras over R, submodules, R-module maps, product spaces, the Jordan-Holder theorem, tensor products, dual spaces, free modules and perhaps some elementary homological algebra. As I've said, this is usually covered in the student's first substantial year-long algebra course, at either the undergraduate or graduate levels. But there are exceptions. For example, Peter Lax's linear algebra book is based on a graduate course on the subject that he's taught there for many years designed to bring incoming graduate students at NYU who are weak in linear algebra up to speed for a second year functional analysis course. Lax became frustrated with the anemic skills in basic linear algebra most graduate students at NYU had and designed this course to rectify this very damaging lacuna in thier training. Here's to Dover republishing it. Anyone have any clue why this was downvoted?Seriously?Other then childish spite,of course. Curtis is a similar book of a much more manageable size. Also, the section on diagonalizable matrices and the Jordan form in Friedberg,et.al is a mess,frankly.The presentation in Curtis is much clearer. Macquarie University, Math 338. A more advanced course should force the students to come to terms with more abstract language (vector spaces over an arbitrary field), and it should contain a sophisticated treatment of the spectral theorem.This can lead to strange circumstances wherein students first learn about tensor products in a differential geometry course or the Jordan canonical form in a number theory course. I recommend that undergraduates take as much linear algebra as possible since good graduate programs will often assume that students know more linear algebra than they do in practice.

Next Article: Computational approaches in cheminformatics and bioinformatics. On the other hand, even when discussing topics that are usually considered elementary, the book does so in a theoretical, sophisticated way, generally eschewing the kind of routine calculations that are so common in introductory linear algebra books in favor of carefully defined terms and precise statements (and proofs) of theorems, often presented at a fairly high level of generality. Vector spaces are not assumed finite-dimensional, and are defined over an arbitrary field rather than the field of real or complex numbers. The term “field” is not defined in the text, thereby making it clear even from page 1 that the author assumes that the reader has some background in abstract algebra. Zorn’s Lemma is also assumed, and used to prove the existence of a basis for an arbitrary vector space V. Likewise, the author’s discussion of the fact that two bases for V have the same number of elements also does not assume finite-dimensionality (though things are simplified somewhat by not distinguishing between cardinalities of infinite sets).It is shown that a volume function exists and is unique up to scaling, and the determinant of a square matrix A is defined to be the image of A under that volume function (scaled, of course, so that the volume of the unit n-cube is 1). This definition is immediately followed by two sections, giving a more traditional characterization of determinants and setting out the basic facts about them. The chapter then concludes with three sections discussing topics not generally seen in elementary courses: the first discusses determinants and invertibility of integer matrices, the second discusses orientation in real vector spaces (via a detour through the topology of the general linear group in which the connected components of the group GL n ( R ) are characterized; knowledge of the topological ideas is assumed), and the third discusses (without proof) some basic facts about Hilbert matrices. For example, to define the product of two matrices A and B (of appropriate sizes) the author takes the composition of the linear transformations defined by A and B and defines AB to be the matrix corresponding to this composition. Likewise, the transpose of a matrix A is defined as the matrix corresponding to the dual of the transformation induced by A. Whether any enhanced motivation and insight given by this approach justifies the departure from standard definitions is, of course, a matter of individual taste. The next chapter (the longest and, I thought, most difficult) addresses the Jordan and rational canonical forms of a matrix. (The approach here is by invariant subspaces; in an appendix, the author discusses the module-over-a-PID approach to this topic.) An algorithm for computing the Jordan form of a matrix (whose characteristic polynomial is given as the product of linear factors) is provided, as are several very helpful, rather non-trivial, examples, worked out in some detail. It would have been nice, though, to see more applications of the material in this chapter; for example, it would not have taken much additional exposition to prove the interesting result that any square matrix is similar to its transpose, but this does not appear. Recent years have seen the publication of a number of books (Stillwell’s Naive Lie Theory being an excellent example) that attempt to make the rudiments of Lie theory accessible to a broader audience by working with matrix groups rather than general Lie groups, thereby exposing the reader to the ideas of Lie theory in a concrete (but reasonably general) setting, letting linear-algebraic arguments replace more difficult manifold-theoretic ones. Given that this is a book on linear algebra, I expected, when I saw the title of this chapter, that it was intended to do the same. However, the chapter begins with the definition of a Lie group (the author assuming knowledge of the definition of differentiable manifold and other facts about differential topology) and consists primarily of the definitions of various classical matrix groups and proof that they are Lie groups. Aside from the fact that many people who have studied differentiable manifolds probably have already seen most or all of these examples, this chapter seems like a lost opportunity to showcase the utility of linear algebra in learning something about Lie theory, perhaps by talking about the exponential of a matrix and the Lie algebra corresponding to a matrix group. Since there are no exercises at all, it seems not to be intended as a text; the fact that a number of terms are given non-standard definitions may also limit its value in this regard. The book’s value as a reference may be limited by the choice of topics. People are of course entitled to their opinion as to whether linear algebra is best approached from the operator-theoretic or matrix-theoretic viewpoint, but it seems a bit odd to baldly assert as fact a statement like this, particularly given that (a) much of the area of numerical linear algebra is concerned with matrices, (b) many people do research in matrix theory and consider themselves linear algebraists, and (c) journals like Linear Algebra and its Applications run lots of articles about matrices. In any event, a number of matrix-oriented topics (Perron-Frobenius, Rayleigh-Ritz, Courant-Fischer, Gershgorin) that are covered in some graduate linear algebra courses are not mentioned in this book at all, thereby making this book less attractive as a potential resource for graduate students preparing for qualifying examinations. However, students preparing for exams that do not cover these topics, or mathematicians not specializing in linear algebra who want a concise reference for the topics that are covered, might well find this book worth a serious look.

Washington, DC 20090-1112Preface. Linear algebra is a beautiful and mature field of mathematics, and mathematicians have developed highly effective methods for solving its problems. It is a subject well worth studying for its own sake. More than that, linear algebra occupies a central place in modern mathematics. Students in algebra studying Galois theory, students in analysisWe have written a book that we hope will be broadly useful. The core ofThis is a book for advanced students. We presume you are already familiar with elementary linear algebra, and that you know how to multiply matrices, solve linear systems, etc. We do not treat elementary material here,However, we do not presumeThe author feels that oneOne thing that you should learn about linear algebra now, if you have notThis is very much the approachWe treat both the finite and infinite dimensional cases in this book,There are two reasons: First, theA Guide to Advanced Linear AlgebraWe regard linear algebra as part of algebra, and that guides our approach. But we have followed a middle ground.

We begin, in Chapter 1, by introducing the basic notions of linear algebra, vector spaces and linear transformations, and establish some of their most important properties. In Chapter 2 we introduce coordinates for vectors and matrices for linear transformations.
