Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory

This revision of a well-known text includes more sophisticated mathematical material. A new section on applications provides an introduction to the modern treatment of calculus of several variables, and the concept of duality receives expanded coverage. Notations have been changed to correspond to more current usage. Book contains preface to 1st & 2nd edition, introduction, 6 chapters, an appendix discussing how to obtain numeric solutions to matrix manipulations through examples, Answers to selected problems, Notation conventions and Index. xii + 352pp. Evar Dare Nering (1921-?) received his Ph.D. at Princeton University under the direction of Emil Artin. His early publications were in algebraic number theory and game theory. Hardcover has green cloth boards with black lettering and designs, but no DJ. Prior Owner marked his name on top and bottom page-edges. Otherwise there are no marks or indication this copy was ever read or owned by anyone. Interior is tight, clean, and text unmarked. Copyrights 1963, 1970. Stated Second Edition. Full print-line indicates 1st printing. Printed in USA. SBN: 471-63178-7. LCCN: 76-91646. No CIP nor MSR. This information is somewhat inconsistent, which supports the 1st printing claim but throws doubt on the leading 76 in the LCCN. My best guess is that the 1976 date is correct and a better name of the edition would be Corrected Second Edition.…
