The development of the subject is elegant … . The proofs are neat … . The exercise sets are good, with occasional hints given for the solution of trickier problems. … It represents linear algebra and does so comprehensively.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHenry Ricardo, MathDL\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-11-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441924988\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-72831-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 525\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44365123977356,"sku":"9781441924988","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441924988.jpg?v=1775711857","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441924988","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
