Linear Algebra [electronic resource] by Jörg Liesen, Volker Mehrmann.

This self-contained textbook takes a matrix-oriented approach to linear algebra and presents a complete theory, including all details and proofs, culminating in the Jordan canonical form and its proof. Throughout the development, the applicability of the results is highlighted. Additionally, the boo...
