<h2 class="chapter">18 Linear Algebra</h2>
<a name="index-linear-algebra"></a>
<p>This chapter documents the linear algebra functions provided in Octave.
Reference material for many of these functions may be found in
Golub and Van Loan, <cite>Matrix Computations, 2nd Ed.</cite>,
Johns Hopkins, 1989, and in the <cite><small>LAPACK</small> Users’ Guide</cite>, SIAM, 1992.
The <cite><small>LAPACK</small> Users’ Guide</cite> is available at:
<cite>http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lug/</cite>
</p>
<p>A common text for engineering courses is G. Strang,
<cite>Linear Algebra and Its Applications, 4th Edition</cite>. It has become a
widespread reference for linear algebra. An alternative is P. Lax
<cite>Linear Algebra and Its Applications</cite>, and also is a good choice. It
claims to be suitable for high school students with substantial mathematical
interests as well as first-year undergraduates.
