‘I have taught courses using Meyer’s text for two semesters now and I like the book even better than when I first read it. The text is just what I want for an advanced level course in Linear Algebra for applied mathematicians and engineers. I plan to use it again.’ William C. Brown, Michigan State University

‘Meyer extensively treats traditional topics in matrix analysis and linear algebra. The text is well written, with the exact statements of important definitions and theorems set off in gray boxes, surrounded by proofs, motivational discussions, many examples and historical notes, and 749 exercises.

‘Carl Meyer’s book is an outstanding addition to the vast literature in this area. Its most distinctive feature is a seamless integration of the theoretical, computational, and applied aspects of the subject, which stems from the author’s extensive experience in both teaching and research.

The author’s clear and elegant expository style is enlivened by a generous sprinkling of historical notes and aptly chosen quotations from famous mathematicians, making this book a delight to read. If this textbook will not succeed in awakening your students’ interest in matrices and their uses, nothing else will.’ Michele Benzi, Emory University
