Applied Numerical Linear Algebra by William W. Hager is a practical introduction to the numerical aspects of linear algebra, emphasizing how mathematical problems are actually solved on computers. The book covers direct and iterative methods for linear systems, Gaussian elimination, matrix factorizations, conditioning and numerical stability, nonlinear equations, least-squares problems, and eigenvalue/eigenvector computations. It uses examples from scientific and engineering applications to illustrate why numerical algorithms can behave differently from their exact mathematical counterparts, particularly when problems are ill-conditioned.
The later chapters move toward computational methods for large-scale problems, including iterative techniques that become essential when discretizing physical models can produce systems with millions of unknowns. The book also discusses numerical software and classic computational packages, while providing exercises and detailed solutions.
Overall, it is designed as a bridge between theoretical linear algebra and practical numerical computation, making it particularly relevant to numerical analysis, scientific computing, optimization, data science, and applied mathematics.
