About this title

Synopsis

Richard Silverman's translation enhances the accessibility and usability of Shilov's Linear Algebra text for English readers, ensuring clarity and comprehension.

Georgi E. Shilov, Professor of Mathematics at the Moscow State University, covers determinants, linear spaces, systems of linear equations, linear functions of a vector argument, coordinate transformations, the canonical form of the matrix of a linear operator, bilinear and quadratic forms, Euclidean spaces, unitary spaces, quadratic forms in Euclidean and unitary spaces, finite-dimensional space. Problems with hints and answers. Because it contains an abundance of problems and examples, the book will be useful for self-study as well as for the classroom.
