Handbook of Linear Algebra, 2nd Edition

Glossary

This glossary covers most of the terms defined in Chapters 1 to 64. It does not cover some terminology used within a single chapter (including most of the terminology that is specific to a particular application (Chapters 65 to 87)), nor does it cover most of the terminology used in computer software (Chapters 88 to 95).
