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.

Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach 3rd edition by John H Hubbard and Barbara Burke Hubbard. 802 pages, Hardcover, smythe-sewn binding, $78  

"...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 Review  Read entire review

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),
  $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... — MAA Reviews   Read more
