Publisher's Synopsis
Ready to turn MATLAB into your personal powerhouse for conquering every core topic of applied linear algebra? This definitive reference distills the subject into 99 laser-focused chapters that walk you from scalar arithmetic to the Singular Value Decomposition-with code-ready examples at every step. Whether you're an engineering student, data-science professional, or researcher hunting for rock-solid numerical methods, you'll find the clarity, rigor, and hands-on practice that other texts leave out.
What Sets It Apart
- Step-by-Step MATLAB Walkthroughs - Instantly runnable scripts and functions illustrate each theorem, proof, and algorithm.- Concept-First Structure - Pure mathematics first; syntax second, so you grasp why every command works.
- Comprehensive Coverage - Eigenvalues, LU/QR/Cholesky factorizations, least-squares, pseudoinverses, condition numbers, Kronecker products, sparse matrices, Gershgorin disks, Lyapunov and Sylvester equations, and much more.
- Zero Fluff - No installation guides, no GUI screenshots-just the ironclad math and code professionals need.
- Built for Real-World Impact - Optimize control systems, accelerate machine-learning pipelines, and bulletproof scientific computations.Inside You'll Discover
