Stephan Ramon Garcia is W .M. Keck Distinguished Service Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Pomona College. He is the author of five books and over 100 research articles in operator theory, complex analysis, matrix analysis, number theory, discrete geometry, and combinatorics. He has served on the editorial boards of the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Notices of the American Mathematical Society, Involve, and The American Mathematical Monthly. He received six teaching awards from three different institutions and is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society, which has awarded him the inaugural Dolciani Prize for Excellence in Research. Roger A. Horn was Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University, and Research Professor of Mathematics at the University of Utah until his retirement in 2015. His publications include Matrix Analysis, 2nd edition (Cambridge, 2012) and Topics in Matrix Analysis (with Charles R. Johnson, Cambridge, 1991), as well as more than 100 research articles in matrix analysis, statistics, health services research, complex variables, probability, differential geometry, and analytic number theory. He was the editor of The American Mathematical Monthly and has served on the editorial boards of the SIAM Journal of Matrix Analysis, Linear Algebra and its Applications, and the Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra.

'A broad coverage of more advanced topics, rich set of exercises, and thorough index make this stylish book an excellent choice for a second course in linear algebra.' Nick Higham, University of Manchester
