About this book :-
"Matrix Algebra" by Marco Taboga is a beginner-friendly academic book that introduces matrix algebra with a strong emphasis on applications in statistics and econometrics. Written in a clear and logical style, the book is designed for undergraduate and early graduate students who may not have a strong mathematical background but need a solid understanding of matrices for data-related fields.
The book covers essential topics such as matrix operations, linear dependence, rank, determinants, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors. Special attention is given to "statistical matrices", including projection matrices and positive definite matrices, which are commonly used in linear regression and probability theory. Through step-by-step explanations, the author makes complex ideas accessible and practical.
One of the book’s key strengths is its focus on learning by doing. Each concept is supported by detailed examples and fully solved exercises, making it ideal for self-study. By combining theory with application, "Matrix Algebra" helps readers build confidence in "linear algebra", understand "matrix theory", and apply mathematical tools effectively in "statistics", "econometrics", and "data analysis".
