Gilbert Strang received his Ph.D. from UCLA and since then he has taught at MIT. He has been a Sloan Fellow and a Fairchild Scholar and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is a Professor of Mathematics at MIT and an Honorary Fellow of Balliol College. Professor Strang has published eight textbooks. He received the von Neumann Medal of the US Association for Computational Mechanics, and the Henrici Prize for applied analysis. The first Su Buchin Prize from the International Congress of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and the Haimo Prize from the Mathematical Association of America, were awarded for his contributions to teaching around the world.
Let me connect these special matrices A and S to calculus. The vector
x changes to a function x(t). The differences Ax become the derivative dx/ dt = bet). In
the inverse direction, the sum Sb becomes the integral of bet). (查看原文)
序言节选: Even a supercomputer doesn't want the inverse matrix: too slow. Inverses gives the simpliest formula x=A^(-1)b but not the top speed. And everyone must know that determinants are even slower-there is no way a linear algebra course should begin wi...

Linear Algebra and its applications及 Introduction to Linear Algebra 是同一作者的书。从内容上看,后者在应用部分更有所增强。但是基本理论和观点,侧重点基本相同。 Linear Algebra and its applications是作者80年代所用的教材,而Introduction to Linear Algebra是90...
