Contents: Preface. 1. Vector spaces. 2. Matrices. 3. Elementary linear transformations and ranks. 4. Systems for linear equations. 5. Latent roots and latent vectors. 6. Quadratic forms. Index.

"The book embodies the basic theoretical elements of linear spaces and Matrix Algebra which are invariably prescribed for ancillary mathematics in statistics courses. Since basic definitions and theorems are given in easy language and discussed with appropriate examples in a systematic way, the book will be useful for students, who are offering statistics in particular."
