Numerical Methods in Matrix Computations Hardcover

Ake Bjorck

Matrix algorithms are at the core of scientific computing and are indispensable tools in most applications in engineering. This book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of modern methods in matrix computation. It uses a unified approach to direct and iterative methods for linear systems, least squares and eigenvalue problems. A thorough analysis of the stability, accuracy, and complexity of the treated methods is given. Numerical Methods in Matrix Computations is suitable for use in courses on scientific computing and applied technical areas at advanced undergraduate and graduate level. A large bibliography is provided, which includes both historical and review papers as well as recent research papers. This makes the book useful also as a reference and guide to further study and research work.

Ake Bjoerck is professor emeritus at Linkoeping University Sweden. He is the coauthor of several textbooks on numerical methods and a monograph and several papers on least squares methods. He has been visiting professor at Stanford University and University of Southern California.

NMMC contains, of course, all expected classical topics and results on matrix computations, but it also contains very recent material ... . this is a very well written excellent book, which I strongly recommend to anybody interested in matrix computations and in computational mathematics in general. ... should be very useful for a wide audience, ranging from graduate students to specialists in matrix computations, as well as researchers in other areas that use matrix computations.
