Matrix Operations for Engineers and Scientists: An Essential Guide in Linear Algebra

Engineers and scientists need to have an introduction to the basics of linear algebra in a context they understand. Computer algebra systems make the manipulation of matrices and the determination of their properties a simple matter, and in practical applications such software is often essential. However, using this tool when learning about matrices, without first gaining a proper understanding of the underlying theory, limits the ability to use matrices and to apply them to new problems. This book explains matrices in the detail required by engineering or science students, and it discusses linear systems of ordinary differential equations. These students require a straightforward introduction to linear algebra illustrated by applications to which they can relate. It caters of the needs of undergraduate engineers in all disciplines, and provides considerable detail where it is likely to be helpful. According to the author the best way to understand the theory of matrices is by working simple exercises designed to emphasize the theory, that at the same time avoid distractions caused by unnecessary numerical calculations. Hence, examples and exercises in this book have been constructed in such a way that wherever calculations are necessary they are straightforward. For example, when a characteristic equation occurs, its roots (the eigenvalues of a matrix) can be found by inspection. The author of this book is Alan Jeffrey, Emeritus Professor of mathematics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. He has given courses on engineering mathematics at UK and US Universities.

BSSA Papers Request
Dear forum friends,
I am stuck up in one project and now i need to study fairly enough to come out from this.. i need following papers from BSSA. I am sure that someone (speically students ) will help me to get this..

Does anybody possesses some kind of numerical/ tabular data (record) of the traffic-induced ground acceleration to share? I'm not looking for something specific - any kind of (tabular) data are welcome.
What I'm trying to say in a caricature way:
i.e. I have a picture of the traffic-induced ground acc. in verbatim looking like this:
but I don't have numerical record of it looking like this or similar:

(this is part of earthquake record written in .txt document)
So I need any kind of numerical record of the traffic-induced ground acceleration along (if possible) with its info (vehicle, ground layers, etc.)
You can send me data using e-mail:

Hi all,
I use the med form our Forum，but I can't find the chinese code。I want to change the language back to chinese in order to use chinese code, but the button is Grizzle,How can I enable the button "change language to chinese"?
