What is Matrix Algorithms: Volume 1: Basic Decompositions about?

Please be warned that this book is heavily designed toward matrix theory, rather than the algorithm itself. Therefore, if you are math-averse, you'd better look for other books that offers much lighter theory such as Numerical Recipes. However, if you are not deterred by Greek letters or complicated formulas and eager to learn the theories behind all of the algorithms, this book is for you. Although the author claims that the intended audience is "nonspecialist", I find that this book is most suitable to scientists or grad students, rather than common programmers. The author explicitly assumes that you know some programming and some linear algebra. Although chapter 1 explains basic matrix theories, you'll need to possess strong basic matrix knowledge -- such as matrix additions, substractions, transpositions, determinants, inverses -- as the author glosses over those on the very first few pages. Still on chapter 1, the author builds up the theories a lot, both matrix theory and linear algebra. He explains many terms such as rank, norms, decompositions, singularity, etc. He also give some proofs on some theorems. These advanced theories will be developed in corresponding later chap
