Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce to the reader the basic concepts of linear algebra whose knowledge is mandatory for the understanding of the material covered in the succeeding chapters. We have taken it out of the main part of the book so as not to interrupt the flow of our arguments and to let those who are familiar with the concepts discussed here, skip them and jump ahead to the Introduction in Chapter 1. With some modifications, the material in this Chapter is largely taken from Eiselt and Sandblom (2004). For a full treatment, see any text on linear algebra, e.g., Bretscher (1997) or Nicholson (2006).
