With the development of science and technology, Matrix Theory has become an indispensable tool in areas such as engineering disciplines, biology, economics, modern physics. When using matrix theory and methods to deal with engineering problems, we have merits of expressing briefly, characterizing problems profoundly, and so on.

The target audience of this course can be PhD candidates / Masters, who will be given lectures systematically on important theoretical knowledge of, for instance, matrix norms, matrix factorizations, estimate of matrix eigenvalues, matrix analysis, generalized inverse matrix, and its applications in related fields. The students will build such a system on matrix theory and acquire relevant conclusions and methods of matrix theory and its applications. Through studying this course, the students will master comprehensively and systematically theories and approaches of matrix analysis, and have the ability to apply matrix analysis theory to solve practical engineering problems.
