Advanced Topics in Linear Algebra: Weaving Matrix Problems Through the Weyr Form

by Kevin C. O'Meara, Charles I. Vinsonhaler, John T. Clark

The Weyr matrix canonical form is a largely unknown cousin of the Jordan canonical form. Discovered by Eduard Weyr in 1885, the Weyr form outperforms the Jordan form in a number of mathematical situations, yet it remains somewhat of a mystery, even to many who are skilled in linear algebra.

Written in an engaging style, this book presents various advanced topics in linear algebra linked through the Weyr form. Kevin O'Meara, John Clark, and...
