Lie groups, not just for particle physics
Not fair on non-physicist mathematicians

good introduction
Good Book for the Most Part
don't waste your money
Starts Off Great, Wears Down Leon's text on linear algebra isn't bad, but there is room for improvement.Chapters 1, 2, and 3 do a good job of introducing the basic concepts of linear algebra, including matrix row operations, determinants, and linear independence.The book seems to lose clarity beginning in Chapter 4.The concepts become more abstract and Leon's notation interferes with the ability to clearly understand what he is talking about when it comes to linear transformations and issues regarding R(A) and orthogonality.Very important results are frequently understated as well.In a few cases, there aren't enough examples to go around - especially in Chapters 4 and 5.It is ironic compared to the relative overexplanation found in Chapter 1, for example. Another qualm I have with this text is the chapter review sections, which are limited to MATLAB exercises and simple true/false questions.I think these sections need actual math problems devoted to them that force the reader to combine and useconcepts learned in the preceeding chapter, rather than overly simple true/false questions. On the other hand, the homework problems the book offers for each section are fairly worded and interesting to solve.There is an answer section, of course, for the odd numbered exercises.Also, there are several "Application" sections that demonstrate how linear algebra is used in real-life scenarios that provide a relevance to this study, just so the casual student doesn't wind up wondering "Where am I ever going to use this?" The book is just okay, but it needs a really good professor to go along with it and elaborate on the concepts Leon either understates or fails to present clearly.On a side note, my book is only two years old (I bought it like new) and the binding is already falling apart. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Important features of the original edition have been updated and improved. Drawing from numerous disciplines of science and engineering, the author covers a variety of motivating applications. When a physical problem is posed, the scientific and engineering significance of the solution is clearly stated. Each chapter contains a summary of the important concepts developed in that chapter, suggestions for further reading, and numerous exercises, both theoretical and MATLAB® and MATCOM based. The author also provides a list of key words for quick reference. The MATLAB toolkit MATCOM contains implementations of the major algorithms associated with the book and enables students to study different algorithms for the same problem, comparing efficiency, stability, and accuracy. Additional online content includes appendices containing MATLAB codes and the MATCOM toolkit solutions to selected problems as well as an extra chapter on special topics. The topics of generalized and quadratic eigenvalue problems, which arise in practical engineering applications, are described in great detail. This feature, along with an important overview of Krylov subspace methods and an extensively updated bibliography, enhances the book s value as a reference for both engineers and students. Audience: This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in applied and computational mathematics, scientific computing, computer science, financial mathematics, actuarial sciences, and electrical and mechanical engineering. It will also appeal to researchers in mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, economics, statistics, and aerospace, electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering as well as practicing engineers and industrial mathematicians. Contents: Preface; Chapter 1: Linear Algebra Problems, Their Importance, and Computational Difficulties; Chapter 2: A Review of Some Required Concepts from Core Linear Algebra; Chapter 3: Floating Point Numbers and Errors in Computations; Chapter 4: Stability of Algorithms and Conditioning of Problems; Chapter 5: Gaussian Elimination and LU Factorization; Chapter 6: Numerical Solutions of Linear Systems; Chapter 7: QR Factorization, Singular Value Decomposition, and Projections; Chapter 8: Least-Squares Solutions to Linear Systems; Chapter 9: Numerical Matrix Eigenvalue Problems; Chapter 10: Numerical Symmetric Eigenvalue Problem and Singular Value Decomposition; Chapter 11: Generalized and Quadratic Eigenvalue Problems; Chapter 12: Iterative Methods for Large and Sparse Problems: An Overview; Chapter 13: Key Terms in Numerical Linear Algebra; Bibliography; Index Customer Reviews (5)

Boolean Algebra and Its Applications
Boolean Algebra Targeted toward math and computerscience undergraduates and to a certain extent electrical engineeringtypes, the book progresses like a math course. It gives the greatestemphasis to the key topics (like the title) and builds on the most basicsub-topics. In Boolean Algebra, that sub-topic is Set Theory. Thereforethis book requires a level of thinking beyond the ordinary, but once youunderstand Set Theory, the rest is easy. And to make it easier on thereader, the lessons on Set Theory are totally intuitive, assuming thereader has at least taken algebra.
