  Linear algebra and matrices: topics for a second course
Shapiro H., American Mathematical Society, Boston, MA, 2015. 317 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-470418-52-6)

In the preface, the author states that this text grew out of two upper-level courses she taught, one in linear algebra and the other in combinatorial matrix theory. She taught both courses from her own notes because she could not find ...

   Algorithm 923: efficient numerical computation of the Pfaffian for dense and banded skew-symmetric matrices
Wimmer M. ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software 38(4): 1-17, 2012.  Type: Article

The Pfaffian of a matrix, like the determinant, is a polynomial in the matrix elements. It is most frequently used in particle physics where the matrix is even-ordered and skew-symmetric, and the determinant is the square of the Pfaffi...

  A simple division-free algorithm for computing determinants
Bird R. Information Processing Letters 111(21-22): 1072-1074, 2011.  Type: Article

The determinant of a matrix has a long history in mathematics. It is usually discussed along with Cramer’s rule for the solution of systems of linear equations. As late as the 1950s, the evaluation of 2×2 and 3&#...

  Linear algebra: ideas and applications
Penney R., Wiley-Interscience, New York, NY, 2008. 480 pp.  Type: Book (9780470178843)

Linear algebra is applied in many different areas, from Google’s PageRank algorithm to group representations, and there are as many different ways to write an introductory text. A certain amount of abstract thinking is requir...
