Reviews

"When a matrix question is thrown my way, I will now refer my correspondents ... to Bernstein's handbook."--Philip J. Davis, SIAM News "Matrix Mathematics contains an impressive collection of definitions, relations, properties, equations, inequalities, and facts centered around matrices and their use in systems and control. The amount of material that is covered is quite impressive and well structured... I highly recommend the book as a source for retrieving matrix results that one would otherwise have to search for in the extensive literature on matrix theory."--Paul Van Dooren, IEEE Control Systems Magazine "The author was very successful in collecting the enormous amount of results in matrix theory in a single source... A beautiful work and an admirable performance!"--Monatshefte fur Mathematik "It is a remarkable source of matrix results. I will put it on the shelf near to my desk so that I have quick access to it. The book is an impressive accomplishment by the author... I can enthusiastically recommend it to anyone who uses matrices. The author has to be applauded for the accomplishment of putting together this impressive volume."--Helmut Lutkepohl, Image "The book is a well-organized treasure trove of information for anyone interested in matrices and their applications. Look through the Table of Contents and see if there isn't some section that will tempt you and/or illuminate your pathway through the extensive literature on matrix theory. Researchers should have access to this authoritative and comprehensive volume. Academic and industrial libraries should have it in their reference collections. Their patrons will be grateful."--Henry Ricardo, MAA Reviews "Anybody, regardless of level of expertise, could learn new things just by browsing. Open to a random page and start reading. The reader who seeks specific information to solve a problem may also find success here."--David S. Watkins, SIAM Review
