Problems and Theorems in Linear Algebra (Translations of Mathematical Monographs, Vol. 134)

There are a number of very good books available on linear algebra. From this one might deduce that the existing books contain all that one needs to know in the best possible form and that any new book would just repeat material in the old ones. However, new results in linear algebra appear constantly, as do new, simpler, and better proofs of old results. Many linear algebra results obtained in the past thirty years are accessible to undergraduate mathematics majors, but are usually ignored by textbooks. In addition, more than a few interesting old results are not covered in many books. In this book, Prasolov provides the basics of linear algebra, with an emphasis on new results and on nonstandard and interesting proofs. The book features about 230 problems with complete solutions. It would be a fine supplementary text for an undergraduate or graduate algebra course.V. V. Prasolov is the author of 'Problems and Theorems in Linear Algebra (Translations of Mathematical Monographs, Vol. 134)', published 1994 under ISBN 9780821802366 and ISBN 0821802364.
