Good Introduction to Matrices.Great Price. The finalchapter, titled Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors, was a bit too concise,touching too briefly on more complicated topics like diagonalization ofmatrices, Hamilton-Cayley Theorem, and quadratic forms. I recommend workingthrough the fourth chapter (this is a short book) rather quickly to get abasic understanding, but then moving to more detailed treatments ofeigenvalues and related topics elsewhwere. As a follow-up, I recommendanother Dover edition - An Introduction to Matrices, Sets, ad Groups forScience Students.However, this text assumes substantial familiarity withmanipulation of determinants. All in all, this book is a good buy and agood starting point for studying matrices. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description • Reveals how ancient civilizations encoded their secret knowledge of the sky in mythology, music, and sacred measures. • Shows how modern culture can benefit from the ancient astronomical and astrological worldview based on number. • Shows the role of ratio and harmonic proportions in the creation of the material world. Humanity's understanding of number was deeper and richer when the concept of creation was rooted in direct experience. But modern sensibility favors knowledge based exclusively on physical laws. We have forgotten what our ancestors once knew: that numbers and their properties create the forms of the world. Ancient units of measurement held within them the secrets of cosmic proportion and alignment that are hidden by the arbitrary decimal units of modern mathematical thinking. Sacred numbers arose from ancient man's observations of the heavens. Just as base ten numbers relate to the fingers and toes in terms of counting, each celestial period divides into the others like fingers revealing the base numbers of planetary creation. This ancient system made the art of counting a sacramental art, its units being given spiritual meanings beyond just measurement. The imperial yard, for example, retains a direct relationship to the Equator, the length of a day and a year, and the angular values of Earth, Moon, and Jupiter. The ancients encoded their secret knowledge of the skies within mythology, music, monuments, and units of sacred measurement. They understood that the ripeness of the natural world is the perfection of ratio and realized that the planetary environment--and time itself--was a creation of number. Customer Reviews (3)

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
intro to how science and religion do/ought to interact Pick up the book, unlike most books you can start reading almost anywhere to get an idea of the writing and topic. It is written to a generally educated audience, avoids jargon, shows evidence that it was written over a long time, i suspect 15-20 years as a passion outside of the author's professional life. It is remarkably evenly written, the only chapter i saw dipping in intensity or interest was 11="Determined to Love?: A Critique of Evolutionary Naturalism'. It is a rebuttal of M.Ruse's _Taking Darwin Seriously_ and its sociobiological/evolutionary psychology viewpoint. The first part of the book, culminating in an excellent motif in chapter 7="The Warfare Mechants: The Roots of Modern Science (4)- Darwin, Evolution and the Victorian Conflict Thesis", is a historical introduction to the topic of how science and theology/religion have interacted in Western history. IMHO, he has hit all the important peaks in the discussion and dwells on the issues that are really important. These chapters alone are worth the effort to read and understand what he is saying, plus they really illustrate the author's committment to truth, both in its ethical and historical dimensions. Debunking such issues as flat earth and the conflict thesis in the late 1900's. The chapters 8="Reweaving the Rainbow: Scientific Knowledge and Religious Knowledge", 9=headquarters Nights: Creation and Evolution" and 10="The Fox and the Hedgehog: Does Evolution have any Religious Implications" are the heart of the book. The technic is historical and follows the great discussions as people try to unwind their world and life view and interact with the issues in their culture and society. He has a very good grasp of the literature but what makes the arguments both interesting and significant is that he brings an organizational talent to the discussion that breaks up and prioritizes the pieces in a unique and valuable way. You can see that he has this book point: science and religion share a common world but they do not divide it up either mutually exclusively but with some overlap, nor mutually exhaustively. But to get us to where he is, takes knowledge by adding to our's and unlearning many false things that have become 'common wisdom' although they are both wrong and self-serving. The take home message is that science and religion deal with reality in a different way, with different tools, for different purposes, but both are the effort of people and as such are rooted in our psychology and world views. The last few chapters from 11 to the end are catching up on several topics of importance to the author which he wanted to expand upon but didnt fit into the historical analysis of the earlier chapters. The insightfulness doesn't lag, nor did my interest with these big asides, although i found the last chapter shorter and less intensive than i would expect in a book of this magnitude. The closing was weak because i think he realized he had made the important points earlier and only needed to review the big picture. I hope you pick up the book and find it as useful as i did, it will occupy a valued space both in my bookshelf and in my arguments to these issues.
A Useful Book As noted in this book,

The ONLY book on the Matrix you need
Superb writing, accessible and insightful
A Good Read As co-editor William G. Doty claims in the introduction, Jacking In situates the franchise in the context of "the history of thought"-from Romanticism to Postmodernism and the posthuman-and in the context of cinema. Accordingly, the volume is multidisciplinary in scope, though it remains firmly set in the humanities and social sciences, as shown by the authors' credentials: Religion and Culture, Comparative Ethnic Studies, English, Philosophy, History, Anthropology... Besides Doty's introduction, other highlights of Jacking In include John Shelton Lawrence's reading of the film trilogy as a fascist narrative, and Frances Flannery-Dailey and Rachel L. Wagner's analysis of the franchise's problematic connection of violence and religious themes. Jacking In also includes a useful appendix with a glossary of names and terms used in the franchise, plus a collection of internet sites by theme and a short bibliography of recommended readings. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Matrix Algebra is a vital mathematical tool in the social sciences, and the techniques and vocabulary of the subject are essential for an understanding of advanced statistics -- yet many social scientists have only a rudimentary grasp of them. This volume serves as a complete introduction to matrix algebra, requiring no background knowledge beyond basic school algebra. Namboodiri's presentation is smooth and readable: it begins with the basic definitions and goes on to explain elementary manipulations and the concept of linear dependence. He then introduces the more difficult concept of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, supplying illustrations through fully-worked examples. Every chapter closes with a summary of the key concepts and definitions, useful to the beginner. Customer Reviews (3)

Editorial Review Product Description Matrix methods have evolved from a tool for expressing statistical problems to an indispensable part of the development, understanding, and use of various types of complex statistical analyses. This evolution has made matrix methods a vital part of statistical education. Traditionally, matrix methods are taught in courses on everything from regression analysis to stochastic processes, thus creating a fractured view of the topic. This updated second edition of Matrix Analysis for Statistics offers readers a unique, unified view of matrix analysis theory and methods. Matrix Analysis for Statistics, Second Edition provides in-depth, step-by-step coverage of the most common matrix methods now used in statistical applications, including eigenvalues and eigenvectors; the Moore-Penrose inverse; matrix differentiation; the distribution of quadratic forms; and more. The subject matter is presented in a theorem/proof format, allowing for a smooth transition from one topic to another. Proofs are easy to follow, and the author carefully justifies every step. Accessible even for readers with a cursory background in statistics, yet rigorous enough for students in statistics, this new edition is the ideal introduction to matrix analysis theory and practice.
