A Challenging, Highly Effective Book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Computational Methods of Linear Algebra (Pure and Applied Mathematics: A Wiley Series of Texts, Monographs and Tracts) (Hardcover)
I used this for a course taught by Prof. Sewell and found it stretched me to my limits, but did what it was meant to do. By the time we worked through it, I had a working knowledge of the various methods used to solve massive systems of equations while conserving computing time. It's strongly recommended that you have a prior course in Linear Algebra, and I can see why - I, as it happens, did not (though I've had several courses that touched on linear algebra) and I'm sure that made me struggle all the more... especially with many of the proofs (always my weakest link).You'll also want to own/use either MATLAB or FORTRAN to work through the programs in this text. Don't skimp here - they're critical for developing a deep understanding of the algorithms discussed! In all, it was a great book and a great class! |
