Chapter 1
Matrix Analysis
It is a bad sign when, on seeing a person, you remember his book.
1.1 Introduction
Pascal’s Pensées
The book relies heavily on matrix analysis. In this Chapter we shall present
the basic definitions and properties of matrices, and provide proofs of some
important theorems that will be used later. Since matrix analysis now has an
established position in Engineering and Science, it will be assumed that the
reader has had some exposure to it; the presentation in the early stages will
therefore be brief. The reader may supplement the treatment here with standard
texts.
