Matrix Computations and Semiseparable Matrices: Linear Systems (Volume 1)
In recent years several new classes of matrices have been discovered and their structure exploited to design fast and accurate algorithms. In this new reference work, Raf Vandebril, Marc Van Barel, and Nicola Mastronardi present the first comprehensive overview of the mathematical and numerical properties of the family's newest member: semiseparable matrices.
In "The Magic Numbers of Dr. Matrix", Martin Gardner introduces us to this extraordinary man, Dr. Irving Joshua Matrix. Believed by many to be the greatest numerologist who ever lived, Dr. Matrix claims to be a reincarnation of Pythagoras. He was, however, completely unknown to the scientific community until Gardner wrote about him in "Scientific American" in 1960.
New Matrix allows students to develop their skills and language for exams and for use in life.
Language presentation and practice explore commonly confused structures and tenses. The contrasting of problem areas allows students to reflect on their understanding of English and to see it fall into place.
The units are theme-related and within each section the topic is looked at from a different angle. This variety ensures that all students will be able to find an aspect of the topic which is engaging and motivating.
New Matrix follows the principles of the previous edition, with emphasis on maximizing performance in the school-leaving exam through a focus on exam tasks and techniques and thought-provoking, demanding material.
