Matrix Theory and ApplicationsHardcover, 1 July 1992

This volume contains the lecture notes prepared for the AMS Short Course on Matrix Theory and Applications, held in Phoenix in January, 1989. Matrix theory continues to enjoy a renaissance that has accelerated in the past decade, in part because of stimulation from a variety of applications and considerable interplay with other parts of mathematics. In addition, the great increase in the number and vitality of specialists in the field has dispelled the popular misconception that the subject has been fully researched.
