This requirement reflects the importance and wide applications of the subject matter. This book is designed for use as a textbook for a formal course in linear algebra or as a supplement to all current standard texts. It aims to present an introduction to linear algebra which will be found helpful to all readers regardless of their fields of specialization. More material has been included than can be covered in most first courses. This has been done to make the book more flexible, to provide a useful book of reference, and to stimulate further interest in the subject. Each chapter begins with clear statements of pertinent definitions, principles and theorems together with illustrative and other descriptive material. ‘This is followed by graded sets of solved and supplementary problems. The solved problems serve to illustrate and amplify the theory, bring into sharp focus those fine points without which the student continually feels himself on unsafe ground, and provide the repetition of basic principles so vital to effective learning. Numerous proofs of theorems are included among the solved problems. The supplementary problems serve as a complete review of the material of each chapter. ‘The first three chapters treat of vectors in Euclidean space, linear equations and matrices. These provide the motivation and basic computational tools for the abstract treatment of vector spaces and linear mappings which follow. A chapter on eigen- values and eigenvectors, preceded by determinants, gives conditions for representing a linear operator by a diagonal matrix. This naturally leads to the study of various canonical forms, specifically the triangular, Jordan and rational canonical forms. In the last chapter, on inner product spaces, the spectral theorem for symmetric op- erators is obtained and is applied to the diagonalization of real quadratic forms. For completeness, the appendices include sections on sets and relations, algebraic structures and polynomials over a field. I wish to thank many friends and colleagues, especially Dr. Martin Silverstein and Dr. Hwa Tsang, for invaluable suggestions and critical review of the manuscript. also want to express my gratitude to Daniel Schaum and Nicola Monti for their very helpful cooperation.

INDEX Chapter 1 Vectors in R" and C* INTRODUCTION In various physical applications there appear certain quantities, such as temperature and speed, which possess only “magnitude”. These can be represented by real numbers and are called scalars. On the other hand, there are also quantities, such as force and velocity, which possess both “magnitude” and “direction”. These quantities can be represented by arrows (having appropriate lengths and directions and emanating from some given ref- erence point O) and are called vectors. In this chapter we study the properties of such vectors in some detail. ‘We begin by considering the following operations on vectors. (i) Addition: The resultant u+v of two vectors u and v is obtained by the so-called parallelogram law, ie. u+v is the diagonal of the parallelogram formed by u and v as shown on the right. (ii) Scalar multiplication: The product ku of a real number k by a vector u is obtained by multiplying the magnitude of u by k and retaining the same direction if k=0 or the opposite direction if & <0, as shown on the right. Now we assume the reader is familiar with the representation of the points in the plane by ordered pairs of real numbers. If the origin of the axes is chosen at the reference point O above, then every vector is uniquely determined by the coordinates of its endpoint. The relationship between the above operations and endpoints follows. (@) Addition: If (a, b) and (¢,d) are the endpoints of the vectors u and v, then (a-+¢, 5 +d) will be the endpoint of u+y, as shown in Fig. (a) below. (ateb+d ky (ka, kb) (a,b) ua) Fig.(a) Fig. (0) (ii) Scalar multiplication: If (a, b) is the endpoint of the vector u, then (ka, kb) will be the endpoint of the vector ku, as shown in Fig. (b) above. 2 VECTORS IN Re AND C [cHaP. 1 ‘Mathematically, we identify a vector with its endpoint; that is, we call the ordered pair (a,b) of real numbers a vector. In fact, we shall generalize this notion and call an n-tuple (a,a2, ...,@») of real numbers a vector. We shall again generalize and permit the co- ordinates of the n-tuple to be complex numbers and not just real numbers. Furthermore, in Chapter 4, we shall abstract properties of these n-tuples and formally define the mathe- matical system called a vector space. ‘We assume the reader is familiar with the elementary properties of the real number field which we denote by R. VECTORS IN R* ‘The set of all n-tuples of real numbers, denoted by R*, is called n-space. A particular ‘ntuple in R*, say = (ty ay ye) is called a point or vector; the real numbers 1 are called the components (or: coordinates) of the vector u. Moreover, when discussing the space R* we use the term scalar for the elements of R, i.e. for the real numbers. Example 11: Consider the following vectors: (0,1), (1-8), 12, VB 4), (5, 4,0, w) ‘The first two vectors have two components and so are points in Rf; the last two vectors have four components and so are points in Rf. ‘Two vectors u and v are equal, written w=, if they have the same number of com- ponents, i.e. belong to the same space, and if corresponding components are equal. The ‘vectors (1,2,3) and (2,8, 1) are not equal, since corresponding elements are not equ: Example 12: Suppose (e—, 2+, 2—1) = (4,2,8). ‘Then, by definition of equality of vectors, aoya4 ety =2 z-1=8 Solving the above system of equations gives x= VECTOR ADDITION AND SCALAR MULTIPLICATION ‘Let u and v be vectors in Rr: = (Uy, ay oe. te) and = (1, V4». OH) ‘The sum of wand v, written u +2, is the vector obtained by adding corresponding components: UD = (r+, Mat Os, 0 et Oe) ‘The product of a real number k by the vector u, written ku, is the vector obtained by multi- plying each component of u by k: eu = (Hous, kets, «5 kets) Observe that u+% and ku are also vectors in R". We also define -lu and u-v = u+(-2) ‘The sum of vectors with different numbers of components is not defined. CHAP. 1] VECTORS IN Be AND Ct 8 Example 13: Let w= (1,—8,2,4) and v = (8,5,—1,-2). Then ute = (1+8,-845,2-1,4-2) = (42,1,2) Bu = (61, 5+(-3),5+2,5+4) = (6,—15, 10, 20) Qu — 80 = (2,-6,4,8) + (-9,-15,3,6) = (7,21, 7,14) Example 14: The vector (0, 0, ..., 0) in Px, denoted by 0, is called the zero vector. It is similar to the sealar 0 in that, for any vector a = (4, ty «+++ ty) UO = FO, +O, oy yO) = (ey tes Basic properties of the vectors in R* under the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication are described in the following theorem.

Then wis said to be in the same direction as v if k>0, and in the op- posite direction if k <0, DOT PRODUCT Let u and v be vectors in RX: UL = (Un, tay 2.5 Ue) and 0 = (v5, %, ‘The dot or inner product of u and v, denoted by w+, is the sealar obtained by multiplying corresponding components and adding the resulting products: Use = wey + Wade to + Uae The vectors u and v are said to be orthogonal (or: perpendicular) if their dot product is zero: urv =0. +) Example 15: Let w= (1,-2,3,-4), 0 =(6,7,1,-2) and w=(6,-4,5,7). Then wey = 166 + (217 + B41 + (-4)e(-2) = GO-U4 SHE 125 + (-2)*(-4) + 965 + (407 = 5 +84 15-8 ‘Thus u and w are orthogonal. Basic properties of the dot product in R* follow.

Observe that qu, v) = |lu— all Example 16: Let u=(1,-2,4,1) and v=(8,1,—6,0). ‘Then du,») = VG-3 + 2-1 + GF P+ OF = VOB lll = VEE COTO = VE Now if we consider two points, say » =(a,b) and q=(c,d) in the plane R®, then Pll = VaF+oF and = (p,q) = Va—o FB —ay ‘That is, |{p|| corresponds to the usual Euclidean length of the arrow from the origin to the point p, and d(p,q) corresponds to the usual Euclidean distance between the points p and 4, as shown below: A similar result holds for points on the line Rand in space R’. Remark: A vector ¢ is called a unit vector if its norm is 1: |[e\|=1. Observe that, for any nonzero vector u€R*, the vector ey =u/|(ul| is a unit vector in the same direction as u. We now state a fundamental relationship known as the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. ‘Theorem 13 (Cauchy-Schwarz): For any vectors u,v R%, |u-o| = |[ul|lo)- Using the above inequality, we can now define the angle @ between any two nonzero vectors u,v ©R" by “0 cos6 = (all Tel Note that if u+v=0, then 9=90° (or: @=~/2). This then agrees with our previous definition of orthogonality. COMPLEX NUMBERS ‘The set of complex numbers is denoted by C, Formally, a complex number is an ordered pair (a,b) of real numbers; equality, addition and multiplication of complex num- bers are defined as follows: (4,0) = (ed) iff a=e¢ and b=d (a,b) + (ed) = (@+e,b+d) (a, b)(e, d) = (ac bd, ad + be) CHAP. 1] VECTORS IN R* AND C* 5 We identify the real number a with the complex number (a, 0): a © (a,0) This is possible since the operations of addition and multiplication of real numbers are preserved under the correspondence: (a,0) + (0,0) = (@+b,0) and (a, 0)(b, 0) = (ab, 0) ‘Thus we view R as a subset of C and replace (1,0) by a whenever convenient and possible. ‘The complex number (0,1), denoted by i, has the important property that P= HH = 0,10,1) = (-1,0) = or t= VT Furthermore, using the fact (a,b) = (a,0)+(0,b) and (0,6) = (b, 0)(0, 1) we have (a,b) = (a, 0) + (6, 0)(0, 1) = a+ bi ‘The notation a+bi is more convenient than (a,b). For example, the sum and product of complex numbers can be obtained by simply using the commutative and distributive laws and #=-1: : (a+bi) +(e+di) = atetbitdi = (ate +b+ai (a+ bd(c+di) = ac + bei + adi + bd = (ac—bd) + (be +ad)i +bi is denoted and defined by ‘The conjugate of the complex number z= (a,b) = z= a-bi (Notice that 22 =a?+b2) If, in addition, z%0, then the inverse 2~! of 2 and division by z are given by ots aoe nes Be wet = 32> geet eyee and Zar where w€C.

Specifically, we let the point (a,b) in the plane represent the complex number z= a-+bi, ile. whose real part is a and whose imaginary part is b. The absolute value of z, written |z|, is defined as the distance from z to the origin: bl = Vero Note that |z| is equal to the norm of the vector (a,b). Also, |z| = 22.

Here the unknown « plays the role of the unknown 2, above.

By the third equation, 2=1, Substituting = 1 into the second equation, we obtain y= 8. Substitut= ing £=1 and y=3 into the first equation, we find x=1. Thus 2=1, y=3 and 2=1 or, in other words, the 3-tuple (1,3, 1), is the unique solution of the system, We reduce the-féllowing aystem by applying the operations Ly > —2L, + Dy and Lg + ~5Ly +L, and then the operation Ly > —2b, + Ly: et By—Bet w= 2 etRy—BetBw = 2 24 2y—Be+Bw = 2 ew = 4 2-2w et dy Set dw = 6 Be + oy — 8 + 11w = 12 2 4w = 2 e+ Qy— 22+ Bw = 2 an tw =) CHAP. 2] LINEAR EQUATIONS 23 The system is consistent, and since there are more unknowns than equations in echelon form, the system has an infinite number of solutions. In fact, there are ‘two free variables, y and w, and so a particular solution can be obtained by i y and w any values. For example, let w=1 and y=—2, Substituting w into the second equation, we obtain z=. Putting w=1, 2=8 and y=—2 into the first equation, we find #=9. Thus 2=9, y=—2, 2=2 and w=1 or, in other words, the 4-tuple (9, —2, 8,1) is a particular solution of the system. Remark: We find the general solution of the system in the above example as follows. Let the free variables be assigned arbitrary values; say, y=a and w=b. Substituting w= into the second equation, we obtain 2=1+2b. Putting y=4,2=1+2b and w=b into the first equation, we find x=4—2a+b. Thus the general solution of the system is 2 =4-204b, y= a, 2= 142, w= b or, in other words, (4—2a +b, a, 1+2b, b), where a and b are arbitrary num- bers, Frequently, the general solution is left in terms of the free variables y and w (instead of a and b) as follows: n= 4A-Qy tw, 2= 1420 or (4-2y+w,y,1+2w, w) We will investigate further the representation of the general solution of a system of linear equations in a later chapter. Example 21: Consider two equations in two unknowns: art by = aye t by = 6 According to our theory, exactly one of the following three cases must oceur (The system is inconsistent (i) ‘The aystem tn equivalent to two equations in echelon form, (i) ‘Te aystem is equivalent to one equation in echelon form. ‘When linear equations in two unknowns with real coefficients can be represented as lines in the plane R%, the above cases can be interpreted geometrically as follows: (@) ‘The two lines are parallel. (i) The two lines intersect in a unique point. (iti) The two lines are eoinetdent. SOLUTION OF A HOMOGENEOUS SYSTEM OF LINEAR EQUATIONS If we begin with a homogeneous system of linear equations, then the system is clearly consistent since, for example, it has the zero solution 0= (0,0, ...,0). ‘Thus it can always be reduced to an equivalent homogeneous system in echelon form: duty + diate + Gate + + sets taunts = 0 ajyig + Oa hiigss to + dante = 0 5,5, + Ors, 1iba to + nti = 0 Hence we have the two possibilities: (i) r=mn.
