octave: Linear Algebra

 
 18 Linear Algebra
 *****************
 
 This chapter documents the linear algebra functions provided in Octave.
 Reference material for many of these functions may be found in Golub and
 Van Loan, ‘Matrix Computations, 2nd Ed.’, Johns Hopkins, 1989, and in
 the ‘LAPACK Users’ Guide’, SIAM, 1992.  The ‘LAPACK Users’ Guide’ is
 available at: ‘http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lug/’
 
    A common text for engineering courses is G. Strang, ‘Linear Algebra
 and Its Applications, 4th Edition’.  It has become a widespread
 reference for linear algebra.  An alternative is P. Lax ‘Linear Algebra
 and Its Applications’, and also is a good choice.  It claims to be
 suitable for high school students with substantial mathematical
 interests as well as first-year undergraduates.
