Book overview

A comprehensive treatment of numerical linear algebra from the standpoint of both theory and practice.

The fourth edition of Gene H. Golub and Charles F. Van Loan's classic is an essential reference for computational scientists and engineers in addition to researchers in the numerical linear algebra community. Anyone whose work requires the solution to a matrix problem and an appreciation of its mathematical properties will find this book to be an indispensible tool.

This revision is a cover-to-cover expansion and renovation of the third edition. It now includes an introduction to tensor computations and brand new sections on
• fast transforms
• parallel LU
• discrete Poisson solvers
• pseudospectra
• structured linear equation problems
• structured eigenvalue problems
• large-scale SVD methods
• polynomial eigenvalue problems

Matrix Computations is packed with challenging problems, insightful derivations, and pointers to the literature―everything needed to become a matrix-savvy developer of numerical methods and software. The second most cited math book of 2012 according to MathSciNet, the book has placed in the top 10 for since 2005.

Review

Problems, solutions, and discussions of the formulas, methods and literature surrounding matrix computations make for a reference that is specific and well detailed: perfect for any college-level math collection appealing to engineers.
―Midwest Book Review

Written for scientists and engineers, Matrix Computations provides comprehensive coverage of numerical linear algebra. Anyone whose work requires the solution to a matrix problem and an appreciation of mathematical properties will find this book to be an indispensable tool.
―MathWorks

Review

A mine of insight and information and a provocation to thought; the annotated bibliographies are helpful to those wishing to explore further. One could not ask for more, and the book should be considered a resounding success.

A great piece of work
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2014
It is exactly what it says on the cover. A great piece of work. I have owned the 2nd & 3rd editions too, and this is a very helpful extension of the previous works.

Amazing book. You can find absolutely anything you want in it.

But heads-up: it's not a good book if you don't know anything about what you are going to read. It should be a "support", but not the first book you read in this field.

The book has errors. I do not mean typos, but errors in programs and algorithms. I used two previous editions and order the newest hoping that it would be more error-free. What is disappointing, this book is a great source of reference and some codes and methods are really hard to find anywhere else, and are never explained as systematically. The style is not the easiest to digest, but once you passed enough numerical analysis classes, you mostly need a reference, and how attractive is this: everything in one book? I appreciate switching from fortran to matlab.

One occasionally comes across a mathematics textbook which is so lacking in explanatory value that one is forced to wonder why it was written. This is one of those books. A sterile encyclopedia of recipes with no real attempt made to explain the ideas. It manages to make an already tedious and uninteresting subject, substantially less appealing

Excellent book. Those who are having doubt whether to go for this or Horn and Johnson's book, both are great books. This book's paper quality is better than Horn's book.
