This book contains over 300 exercises and solutions covering a wide variety of topics in matrix algebra. They can be used for independent study or in creating a challenging and stimulating environment that encourages active engagement in the learning process. Thus, the book can be of value to both teachers and students. The requisite background is some previous exposure to matrix algebra of the kind obtained in a first course. The exercises are those from an earlier book by the same author entitled Matrix Algebra From a Statistician?s Perspective (ISBN 0-387-94978-X). They have been restated (as necessary) to stand alone, and the book includes extensive and detailed summaries of all relevant terminology and notation. The coverage includes topics of special interest and relevance in statistics and related disciplines, as well as standard topics.
From the reviews of the first edition:
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION
"written as a companion to his earlier book titled MATRIX ALGEBRA FROM A STATISTICIANS PERSPECTIVEthis is not just a solutions manual. With 15 pages of definitions and terminology and another 5 pages of notations, the book can be used as an independent reader on advanced topics in linear algebrawhen used in conjunction with his earlier book, provides a more in-depth second course on this topic."
