VERY GOOD: The book is in excellent condition. The pages are clean, the binding is still like-new tight, and the covers are in very good condition except for a slight "ding" in the upper spine. It is printed on acid-free paper.Product Details
From the back cover: "The book explains the algebra of matrices and uses the König digraph to carry out simple matrix operations. It then discusses matrix powers, provides a graph-theoretical definition of the determinant, and presents a graph-theoretical interpretation of matrix inverses. The authors develop the elementary theory of solutions of systems of linear equations and show how to use the Coates digraph to solve a linear system. They also explore the eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and characteristic polynomial of a matrix as well as examine the important properties of nonnegative matrices that are part of the Perron-Frobenius theory. The final chapter presents applications to electrical engineering, physics, and chemistry."Using combinatorial and graph-theoretical tools, this book enables a solid understanding of the fundamentals of matrix theory and its applications to scientific areas.
"Features:
- Places combinatorial and graph-theoretical tools at the forefront of the development of matrix theory
- Fosters a better understanding of matrix theory by using graphs to explain basic matrix construction, formulas, computations, ideas, and results
- Presents material rarely found in other books at this level, including Gersgorin's theorem and its extensions, the Kronecker product of matrices, sign-nonsingular matrices, and the evaluation of the permanent matrix
- Includes a combinatorial argument for the classical Cayley-Hamilton theorem and a combinatorial proof of the Jordan canonical form of a matrix
- Describes several applications of matrices in electrical engineering, physics, and chemistry."
