Numerical Linear Algebra

by L.N. Trefethen

**** [4/5]

This book provides a detailed and incisive look at numerical linear algebra. The most useful sections to me are the careful breakdown of the orthogonal techniques for Singular Value Decomposition.

Excellent mathematical resource. Trefethen was on campus a few weeks ago giving seminars. I really wanted to get my copy of this book signed but I didn't want to look quite that nerdy.
