Linear Algebra to Differential Equations

Linear Algebra to Differential Equations concentrates on the essential topics necessary for all engineering students in general and computer science branch students, in particular. Specifically, the topics dealt will help the reader in applying linear algebra as a tool.The advent of high-speed computers has paved the way for studying large systems of linear equations as well as large systems of linear differential equations. Along with the standard numerical methods, methods that curb the progress of error are given for solving linear systems of equations.The topics of linear algebra and differential equations are linked by Kronecker products and calculus of matrices. These topics are useful in dealing with linear systems of differential equations and matrix differential equations. Differential equations are treated in terms of vector and matrix differential systems, as they naturally arise while formulating practical problems. The essential concepts dealing with the solutions and their stability are briefly presented to motivate the reader towards further investigation.This book caters to the needs of Engineering students in general and in particular, to students of Computer Science & Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotics. Further, the book provides a quick and complete overview of linear algebra and introduces linear differential systems, serving the basic requirements of scientists and researchers in applied fields.FeaturesProvides complete basic knowledge of the subjectExposes the necessary topics lucidlyIntroduces the abstraction and at the same time is down to earthHighlights numerical methods and approaches that are more usefulEssential techniques like SVD and PCA are givenApplications (both classical and novel) bring out similarities in various disciplines:Illustrative examples for every concept: A brief overview of techniques that hopefully serves the present and future needs of students and scientists.
