Matrices and Determinoids 3 by Cuthbert Edmund Cullis - PDF
About this book :-
"Matrices and Determinoids, Volume 3" by "Cuthbert Edmund Cullis" is the final volume of a classic mathematical series devoted to the theoretical foundations of matrix theory. Building on the earlier volumes, this book completes Cullis’s systematic study of "matrices" and his original concept of "determinoids", which extend classical determinants to more general cases. The work reflects an early 20th-century approach, emphasizing rigor, structure, and logical development rather than practical computation.
This volume focuses on advanced properties and identities of determinoids and their relationship to matrix rank, linear dependence, and systems of linear equations. Cullis carefully develops proofs and algebraic arguments that help unify determinant theory with broader matrix concepts. Readers gain insight into how these ideas were understood and formalized before the modern abstract language of "linear algebra" became standard.
Historically, the book is important for showing the evolution of "generalized determinants" and their role in understanding matrix structure. While it is not written for beginners, it remains valuable for advanced students, researchers, and those interested in the history of "algebraic theory". Cullis’s work continues to be appreciated for its depth, originality, and contribution to the classical foundations of "matrix theory".

About Author :-
The author
Cuthbert Edmund Cullis
(1875–1951) was a British mathematician known for his deep work in "matrix theory" and for introducing "determinoids", a generalization of classical determinants. Educated at Cambridge, he later became a professor at the University of Calcutta, contributing significantly to advanced mathematical education.
