Computational Methods of Linear Algebra by V. N. Faddeeva

About this book :-
"Computational Methods of Linear Algebra" by V. N. Faddeeva is a classic reference that focuses on solving linear algebra problems using "numerical computation" rather than abstract theory. The book was developed during the early days of scientific computing and reflects a strong emphasis on accuracy and reliability in calculations. It is especially valuable for readers interested in practical computation. The text covers essential topics such as solving systems of linear equations, computing "eigenvalues", and working with matrices using step-by-step algorithms. It explains methods that were designed for hand calculation and early computers, which helps readers deeply understand the logic behind modern numerical algorithms. Many examples include detailed tables that demonstrate each stage of computation clearly. Overall, the book is well suited for mathematicians, engineers, and scientists who want a strong foundation in "numerical methods", "matrix algorithms", and "computational accuracy". While the style is traditional, the ideas remain relevant and continue to influence modern "scientific computing" and applied linear algebra.
