Concise undergraduate text focuses on problem solving, rather than elaborate proofs. The first three chapters present the basics of matrices, including addition, multiplication, and division. In later chapters the author introduces vectors and shows how to use vectors and matrices to solve systems of linear equations. 1961 edition. 20 black-and-white illustrations.

Buyer Beware Mistakes & lack of Exercise Solutions,
By Autodidact Andy "IndiAndy" (Golden State California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Matrices and Vectors (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
Just a quick review to warn people like me who buy books like these to help us in our autodidact pursuits. I bought this Dover book because I trusted Dover publications and am now disappointed to say that this trust is now in question. The book has some merit: the flow and examples are clear and well laid out however, THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS TO THE EXERCISES!Be aware that there are some glaring mistakes even to the beginner's eyes. For example, the author says "We may determine a 4X4 matrix..." and then represents this 4x4 with a 5x5 matrix. And he contradicts a commutivity theorem by saying that where two matrices A and zero share the same nxn row & column dimensions An+0n=A and then right after this he says A+0=0 on pp. 12-13. This is wrong! How am I supposed to trust further examples from this book? Sorry, I'll have to permanently shelve it... Good luck. IndiAndy Aspiring Autodidact
