Quadratic forms and matrices. 8th edition. Efimov N.V.

This book is the addition of the author of the author “A Brief course of analytical geometry”. It consists of three chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the lead to the canonical appearance of the general equation of the second -order line. The second chapter considers the leading to the canonical appearance of the general equation of the second -order surface (according to its scheme, this chapter is similar to the first). The third chapter has its subject linear transformations and matrices; At the end of the chapter, bringing to the canonical type of quadratic forms is considered and the connection of this issue with the theory of lines and surfaces of the second order is established. The book is recommended for students of natural-scientific and technical higher educational institutions, studying the in-depth course of the highest algebra and geometry, as well as graduate students, teachers, engineers, scientists.
