This text introduces the fundamentals of numerical linear algebra and matrix computations to advanced undergraduates (and beyond) studying in mathematics, computer science, engineering, and other disciplines where numerical methods are used. Watkins (mathematics, Washington State U.) includes chapters on Gaussian elimination and its variants, sensitivity of linear systems, the least squares problem, the singular value decomposition, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and iterative methods for linear systems. The material is illustrated using examples and exercises on applications (. electrical circuits, mass-spring systems, and simple partial differential equations) utilizing MATLAB for solutions. For this new edition, he has simplified the presentation of Francis's algorithm (more commonly known as the implicitly shifted QR algorithm) for computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors, among other changes. Prerequisites are a first course in linear algebra and some experience with computer programming. A first course in differential equations may also prove helpful for understanding some of the examples. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
