In using the shift operator as a central object, it makes linear algebra a perfect introduction to other areas of mathematics, operator theory in particular. This technique is very powerful as becomes clear from the analysis of canonical forms (Frobenius, Jordan). It should be emphasized that these functional methods are not only of great theoretical interest, but lead to computational algorithms. Quadratic forms are treated from the same perspective, with emphasis on the important examples of Bezoutian and Hankel forms. These topics are of great importance in applied areas such as signal processing, numerical linear algebra, and control theory. Stability theory and system theoretic concepts, up to realization theory, are treated as an integral part of linear algebra. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition has been updated throughout, in particular new sections  have been added on rational interpolation, interpolation using H^{\\nfty} functions, and tensor products of models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview from first edition:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“…the approach pursed by the author is of unconventional beauty and the material covered by the book is unique.” (Mathematical Reviews)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-11-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461403371\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-0338-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 411\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46540672467084,"sku":"9781461403371","price":76.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461403371.jpg?v=1775729165","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461403371","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
