It can also be a reference source for teachers, looking for detailed proofs of results, given in elementary books, without proofs. The linear algebra is developed over a field. The first chapters are devoted to basic concepts of matrices, abstract vector spaces, linear transformations and determinants. The other three chapters discuss various canonical forms of matrices, inner product spaces, sesquilinear forms, and bilinear forms. The book contains detailed proofs of various results; these proofs may or may not be discussed by a teacher, depending upon the course being offered. The further elucidate the material in the book, a large number of examples and remarks are given.About the AuthorDR. SURJIT SINGH studied in the Delhi University for his degrees of B.Sc (Hons.), M.Sc and Ph.D. He was awarded Ph.D in 1969.
