Synopsis:

Intended for a serious first course or a second course, this text will carry students beyond eigenvalues and eigenvectors to the classification of bilinear forms, normal matrices, spectral decompositions, the Jordan form, and sequences and series of matrices. For this second edition, the authors, both affiliated with the University of South Carolin
