This book contains a detailed guide to determinants and matrices in algebra. It offers an in-depth look into this area of mathematics, and it is highly recommended for those looking for an introduction to the subject. "Determinants and Matrices" is not to be missed by collectors of vintage mathematical literature. Contents include: "Linear Equations and Transformations", "The Notation of Matrices", "Matrices, Row and Column Vectors, Sealers", "The Operations of Matrix Algebra", "Matrix Pre- and Postmultiplication", "Product of Three or More Matrices", "Transposition of Rows and Columns", "Transpose of a Product: Reversal Rule", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

This text and reference book for mathematics students and for many people working in the social sciences contains in one volume the most important properties of matrices and determinants whose elements are real or complex numbers. The theory is developed from the classical point of view of Bocher, Wedderburn, MacDuffee, and Erobernus. Originally published in 1958.
