This 1913 book forms part of a three-volume work dealing with rectangular matrices and determinoids as distinguished from square matrices and determinants. The second volume contains further developments of the general theory, including a discussion of matrix equations of the second degree.

This 1913 book forms part of a three-volume work dealing with rectangular matrices and determinoids as distinguished from square matrices and determinants. The first volume contains the most fundamental portions of the theory and concludes with the solution of any system of linear algebraic equations.

This expansive volume describes the history of numerical methods proposed for solving linear algebra problems, from antiquity to the present day. The authors focus on methods for linear systems of equations and eigenvalue problems and describe the interplay between numerical methods and the computing tools available at the time. The second part of the book consists of 78 biographies of important contributors to the field. A Journey through the History of Numerical Linear Algebra will be of special interest to applied mathematicians, especially researchers in numerical linear algebra, people involved in scientific computing, and historians of mathematics.

Includes "Examination Papers".
