"Functions of Matrices: Theory and Computation gives a thorough treatment of the theory of matrix functions and numerical methods for computing them, as well as an overview of applications. The book is useful for advanced courses and is well-suited to self-study. The broad content - including f(A)-related facts, tricks, and techniques, historical references, and an appendix of background results - makes it convenient as a general reference in matrix analysis and numerical linear algebra."--Jacket.
