Reviews'Trefethen and Bau clear the dark clouds from numerical problems associated with factoring matrices, solving linear equations, and finding eigenvalues.'P. Cull, CHOICE, "This is a beautifully written book which carefully brings to the reader the important issues connected with the computational issues in matrix computations. The authors show a broad knowledge of this vital area and make wonderful connections to a variety of problems of current interest. The book is like a delicate soufflè --- tasteful and very light." -Gene Golub, Stanford University., '...Each lecture in the textbook is pleasantly written in a conversational style and concludes with a set of related exercises. This low-cost textbook emphasizes many important and relevant topics in numerical linear algebra and seems ideal for a graduate course as long as it is accompanied by a textbook with more mathematical details.'Ricardo D.

Ricardo D. Fierro, SIAM Review, "I have used Numerical Linear Algebra in my introductory graduate course and I have found it to be almost the perfect text to introduce mathematics graduate students to the subject. I like the choice of topics and the format: a sequence of lectures. Each chapter (or lecture) carefully builds upon the material presented in previous chapters, providing new concepts in a very clear manner. Exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce the concepts, and in some cases introduce new ones. ...The emphasis is on the mathematics behind the algorithms, in the understanding of why the algorithms work. ...The text is sprinkled with examples and explanations, which keep the student focused." -Daniel B.

SynopsisA concise, insightful, and elegant introduction to the field of numerical linear algebra. Designed for use as a stand-alone textbook by students from all fields of mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. The authors' eloquent presentation of the most fundamental ideas in numerical linear algebra, make it popular with teachers and students alike., This is a concise, insightful introduction to the field of numerical linear algebra. The clarity and eloquence of the presentation make it popular with teachers and students alike. The text aims to expand the reader's view of the field and to present standard material in a novel way. All of the most important topics in the field are covered with a fresh perspective, including iterative methods for systems of equations and eigenvalue problems and the underlying principles of conditioning and stability. Presentation is in the form of 40 lectures, which each focus on one or two central ideas. The unity between topics is emphasized throughout, with no risk of getting lost in details and technicalities. The book breaks with tradition by beginning with the QR factorization - an important and fresh idea for students, and the thread that connects most of the algorithms of numerical linear algebra.
