Comprehensive Introduction to Linear Algebra 3 by Joel Broida, S. G. Williamson

About this book :-
"A Comprehensive Introduction to Linear Algebra (Volume 3: Operators and Tensors)" by "Joel Broida" and "S. G. Williamson" is the most advanced volume in the series. It is designed for students who already have a solid understanding of basic linear algebra and canonical forms. This volume shifts the focus from matrices alone to more abstract structures that appear in higher mathematics and applied sciences. The book explores "linear operators" in greater depth, helping readers understand how linear transformations act in both finite- and infinite-dimensional spaces. It introduces "linear functionals" and develops the theory in a clear and logical way. A major part of the volume is devoted to "multilinear mappings" and "tensors", which extend linear algebra to multiple inputs and play an important role in physics, engineering, and data analysis. The later chapters connect these ideas to broader mathematical settings, including inner-product spaces and elements of functional analysis. This makes Volume 3 especially valuable for students preparing for advanced courses or research. Written with precision and clarity, it provides a strong bridge between undergraduate linear algebra and modern mathematical applications.
