Cooperstein B. Advanced linear algebra

2nd ed. — CRC Press, 2015. — 617 p. — (Textbooks in mathematics). — ISBN: 1482248840, 9781482248845, 9781482248852The main differences between this edition and the first (apart from the correction of numerous typos) is the addition of a substantial amount of material, including four wholly new chapters. As a consequence, through the choice of various subsets of the chapters, this book can be appropriate for a single upper-division or graduate course in linear algebra, or an upper-division or graduate sequence. Furthermore, this book can function as a supplementary text for a graduate course on classical groups. As with the first edition, the approach remains general (nearly everything is done over arbitrary fields) and structural. We have also attempted to continue to build up to significant re- sults from a few simple ideas. Following is a description of how the new edition specifically differs from its predecessor.
