Matrix
Editions
is a
small publisher committed to "serious mathematics, written with the
reader in mind". Our goal is to publish rigorous books that go beyond
correct statements to show why statements are correct and why they are
interesting. We
intend to produce the best possible books at a fair price to readers
and with a fair return to authors.

Calculus 4th edition (includes links to table of
contents, preface, sample pages)
"...a text
for a very
particular type of student, one who accepts that reading and learning
mathematics will no longer a a plug-and-chug activity, one who is
intrigued by connections of mathematical ideas with one another, and
more specifically, one who is looking forward to learning a vast amount
of mathematics" — MAA

Teichmüller
Theory and
Applications to
Geometry, Topology, and Dynamics Volume I:
Teichmüller Theory
by John H.
Hubbard, with forewords by Clifford Earle
and William Thurston
459 pages,
Hardcover (with Smythe-sewn binding), ISBN
9780971576629
$69
"...
beautiful
treatments of classical
theorems .... [and] of more specialized topics that
one can hardly find (and, for some of them, cannot find at
all)
in other textbooks on Teichmüller
theory....an
invaluable book. It treats a wonderful subject, and it is
written
by a great mathematician. It is now an essential reference for every
student and every researcher in the field."

Zentralblatt Math
"As a motto,
Matrix
Editions has chosen "Serious mathematics, written with the reader in
mind." The volume under review ... beautifully exemplifies
the motto... [Fields
medalist William] Thurston writes that "John
Hubbard approaches mathematics with his whole mind," and indeed he
does. Definitions, theorems, proofs, and remarks are embedded
in a
coherent narrative. Geometry is made visual whenever possible..."

Solving
Linear Systems: An Analysis of Matrix Prefactorization Iterative
Methods,
by Zbigniew
Ignacy Woźnicki
554 pages,
8 x 10 inches, hardcover, smythe-sewn binding, ISBN 9780971576667

June,
2009
"This
book contains a detailed
treatment of linear algebra, and how it can be applied to the iterative
solution of elliptic boundary-value problems. In Chapter 5
the author attacks the interesting and difficult problem of
comparing the numerical work required to solve large elliptic problems
by his SOR-like AGA method, with the
numerical work required using
newer computational methods, such as Krylov subspace methods and
GMRES.
His conclusions here are quite unexpected! Indeed,
for some problems, he found that the SOR-like methods were
superior to
Krylov subspace methods by several orders of
magnitude." — From the foreword
by Richard Varga,
Emeritus University
Professor of Mathematics, Kent State University
