Designed for use by first-year graduate students from a variety of engineering and scientific disciplines, 《Applied Numerical Linear Algebra》comprehensive textbook covers the solution of linear systems, least squares problems, eigenvalue problems,and the singular value decomposition. The author James Demmel, who helped design the widely used LAPACK and ScaLAPACK linear algebra libraries, draws on this experience to present state-of-the-art techniques for these problems, 《Applied Numerical Linear Algebra》including recommendations of which algorithms to use in a variety of practical situations.
