Synopsis

This book presents methods for the computational solution of some important problems of linear algebra: linear systems, linear least squares problems, eigenvalue problems, and linear programming problems. The book also includes a chapter on the fast Fourier transform and a very practical introduction to the solution of linear algebra problems on modern supercomputers.

The book contains the relevant theory for most of the methods employed. It also emphasizes the practical aspects involved in implementing the methods. Students using this book will actually see and write programs for solving linear algebraic problems. Highly readable FORTRAN and MATLAB codes are presented which solve all of the main problems studied.

Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students, researchers in computational mathematics and linear algebra.

About this title

Review:

"This robust text is well worth an evaluation for anyone interested in teaching such topics. If this book or a subset of its content were used, students would undoubtedly benefit from the tutelage it offers." (SIAM Review, Vol 50, Issue 4, 2008)

"The author's presentation in excellent, providing motivation to the student throughout...an excellent, extremely readable introduction to computational linear algebra..." (MAA Reviews, December 28, 2005)
