Advanced Linear Algebra by Steven Roman

Advanced Linear Algebra by Steven Roman

For the third edition, the author has added a new chapter on associative algebras that includes the well known characterizations of the finite-dimensional division algebras over the real field (a theorem of Frobenius) and over a finite field (Wedderburn's theorem);

From the reviews of the first edition:

"… The book is very well written and has a good set of exercisesIt is a suitable choice as a graduate textbook as well as a reference book." A.A. Jafarian for ZentralblattMATH

From the reviews of the second edition:

"In this 2nd edition, the author has rewritten the entire book and has added more than 100 pages of new materials. … As in the previous edition, the text is well written and gives a thorough discussion of many topics of linear algebra and related fields. … the exercises are rewritten and expanded. … Overall, I found the book a very useful one. … It is a suitable choice as a graduate text or as a reference book." (Ali-Akbar Jafarian, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1085, 2006)

"This is a formidable volume, a compendium of linear algebra theory, classical and modern … . The development of the subject is elegant … . The proofs are neat … . The exercise sets are good, with occasional hints given for the solutionof trickier problems. … It represents linear algebra and does so comprehensively." (Henry Ricardo, MathDL, May, 2005)

From the reviews of the third edition:

“This is the 3rd edition of a well written graduate book on linear algebra. … The list of references has been enlarged considerably. The book is suitable for a second course on linear algebra and/or a graduate text, as well as a reference text.” (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, May, 2014)

"This is the 3rd edition of a well written graduate book on linear algebra. … The book covers a wide range of topics in a moderate length and careful manner. … The list of references has been enlarged considerably. … is suitable for a second course on linear algebra and/or a graduate text, as well as a reference text." (A. Arvanitoyeorgos, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1132 (10), 2008)
