In this paper we study the trace ring of [italic]m generic 2 by 2 matrices [capital Greek]Pi[italic subscript]m,₂. It is shown that it is a polynomial ring over the generic Clifford algebra for [italic]m-ary quadratic forms of rank [less than or equal to] 3. We prove that it is …

Written for advanced undergraduate students, this highly regarded book presents an enormous amount of information in a concise and accessible format. Beginning with the assumption that the reader has never seen a matrix before, the authors go on to provide a survey of a substant…
Undergraduate-level introduction to linear algebra and matrix theory deals with matrices and linear systems, vector spaces, determinants, linear transformations, similarity, polynomials, and polynomial matrices. Also spectral decomposition, Jordan canonical form, solution of the…
