Product Review
I have used Numerical Linear Algebra in my introductory graduate course and I have found it to be almost the perfect text to introduce mathematics graduate students to the subject. I like the choice of topics and the format: a sequence of lectures. Each chapter (or lecture) carefully builds upon the material presented in previous chapters, providing new concepts in a very clear manner. Exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce the concepts, and in some cases introduce new ones. …The emphasis is on the mathematics behind the algorithms, in the understanding of why the algorithms work. …The text is sprinkled with examples and explanations, which keep the student focused. --Daniel B. Szyld, Department of Mathematics, Temple University.
Just exactly what I might have expected--an absorbing look at the familiar topics through the eyes of a master expositor. I have been reading it and learning a lot. --Paul Saylor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
This is a beautifully written book which carefully brings to the reader the important issues connected with the computational issues in matrix computations. The authors show a broad knowledge of this vital area and make wonderful connections to a variety of problems of current interest. The book is like a delicate soufflé --- tasteful and very light. --Gene Golub, Stanford University.

Product Review
‘If you do any computing with matrices - including linear systems, least squares, and eigenvalues - this book cannot but help you understand what you are doing and why. It presents state-of-the-art material (as of June 1997) and can serve as a text or a reference…’ L. Ehrlich, Randallstown, MD, Computing Reviews
‘…This book is a friendly treatment of numerical linear algebra tailored to first-year graduate students from a variety of engineering and scientific disciplines. The treatment of rounding error analysis and perturbation theory is exceptionally thorough and careful … The author's writing style is very clear and a pleasure to read.’ William W. Hager, Mathematical Reviews
‘…The disposition is very much like a series of lectures, new concepts are introduced precisely where needed … Illustrating examples are given, some reporting really heavy computations, but the author does not shy away from giving mathematical proofs where that is needed …’ A. Ruhe, Zeitschrift fur Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete
‘…Compare Demmel with the standard work by G. Golub and C. Van Loan, Matrix Computations (3rd ed., 1996) … Demmel offers a smaller number of topics but focuses on the most important, and provides a more readable introduction for beginners.’ B. Borchers, CHOICE
‘… highly recommended to graduate students in the field and a must for university libraries. Students will enjoy the gradual introduction to problems clearly marked as Easy, Medium, or Hard according to their level of difficulty. Readers will benefit from reading the preface to acquaint themselves with the philosophy that guided the author while writing the book.’ L. Y. Bahar, Applied Mechanics Review
"Jim Demmel's book on applied numerical linear algebra is a wonderful text blending together the mathematical basis, good numerical software, and practical knowledge for solving real problems. It is destined to be a classic." -Jack Dongarra, Department of Computer Science, University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
"This book has many unprecedented features as a graduate textbook and research reference book on numerical linear algebra and matrix computations. Many topics appear for the first time in a graduate textbook, such as single precision iterative refinement, relative perturbation theory, full-version of divide-and-conquer method, high precision Jacobi method, connection of QR method and the Toda lattice and so on. …It is astonishing to what extent this book, by means of systematic and easily understandable exposition, has succeeded in making clear the state of the art of numerical linear algebra theory, methods and analysis which we numerical analysts consider the lively frontier of our current work." -Zhaojun Bai, University of Kentucky.
"This is an excellent graduate-level textbook for people who want to learn or teach the state of the art of numerical linear algebra. It covers systematically all the fundamental topics in theory, as well as software implementation. The book is very easy to use in the classroom since it provides pointers, in the book and on the author's home page, to lots of available Matlab and LAPACK routines, and it has a large number of homework problems marked with Easy, Medium and Hard. The book requires the students to have a stronger background in linear algebra than most other engineering books on numerical linear algebra." -Xia-Chuan Cai, Department of Computer Science, University of Colorado.
"Demmel's book covers the state of the art tools of numerical linear algebra. He tells us how they work and why they work so well. He also gives many references to recent research work. … he avoids including everything, so the book is still easy to read. …" -Martin H. Gutknecht, IPS Supercomputing in Zurich, Switzerland.
