This book offers a unique introduction to matroid theory, emphasizing motivations from matrix theory and applications to systems analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis book serves also as a comprehensive presentation of the theory and application of mixed matrices, developed primarily by the present author in the 1990's. A mixed matrix is a convenient mathematical tool for systems analysis, compatible with the physical observation that \"fixed constants\" and \"system parameters\" are to be distinguished in the description of engineering systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be extremely useful to graduate students and researchers in engineering, mathematics and computer science.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the reviews:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"…The book has been prepared very carefully, contains a lot of interesting results and is highly recommended for graduate and postgraduate students.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAndrás Recski, Mathematical Reviews Clippings 2000m:93006\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 November 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Berlin Heidelberg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783540660248\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e483\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578568695948,"sku":"9783540660248","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540660248.jpg?v=1780593154","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540660248","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
