Review
This is an excellent textbook. -- Zentralblatt für Mathematik

Product Description
This treatise, by one of Russia's leading mathematicians, gives in easily accessible form a coherent account of matrix theory with a view to applications in mathematics, theoretical physics, statistics, electrical engineering, etc. The individual chapters have been kept as far as possible independent of each other, so that the reader acquainted with the contents of Chapter 1 can proceed immediately to the chapters of special interest. Much of the material has been available until now only in the periodical literature

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent work, November 3, 2003

By	Yulia D. Tschenogorowa (Yekaterinburg, Russia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Matrix Theory, Vol. 2 (Hardcover)

This classical book constitutes, even 60 years after been written, one of the most valuable book on matrix theory, written by eminent soviet mathematician Felix R. Gantmacher. In this book many aspects are covered, from the general theory of linear spaces (chapters 1-10), numerical methods for calculation of characteristic polynomials), applications to study of differential equations, Markov processes or applications to elastic systems. Many proof are given in alternative way to usual books, and are interesting variations. Anyone interested in matrices and applications will find here some subject of interest. It is really one of the best books on matrices which has been written.
{the comments refer to the original Nauka edition of 1966, but also apply to the translations and reprints made of it}
