Lecture 2: Toeplitz matrices and determinants under the impetus of the Ising model II. The second talk will follow on from the first, and will describe more technical aspects, together with ...

KALAMAZOO—A noted scholar from Rice University will examine how matrix theory can uncover obscure relationships among members of a social network when he speaks later this month at Western Michigan ...

Linear algebra is rarely described as popular, but rarely does a mathematician portray it in a different, illuminating light. That is certainly one reason Gilbert Strang’s linear algebra lectures are ...

THE history of the mathematical term “matrix” is likely to be very interesting. Its original meaning was an array of symbols (a mn) forming a rectangle of m rows and columns, out of which determinants ...

In this lecture, the independent pathway model is introduced. A general specification of the common factor model is provided first, which is applied to genetic and environmental correlation matrices ...

We show that finite-rank perturbations of certain random matrices fit in the framework of infinitesimal (type-B) asymptotic freeness. This can be used to explain the appearance of free harmonic ...
