Rich asks: << Does anyone know of a compendium of matrix arithmetic? I'm imagining a collection of numerical & simple algebraic facts about matrices-- things like the determinant of a Vandermonde matrix, or the inverse of a finite section of Pascal's Triangle.
This is probably more advanced than you're looking for, but a wonderful book that's jam-packed with matrix facts but whose emphasis is on good robust algorithms for various matrix computations is by Golub & Van Loan, now in its nth edition where n >= 3. --Dan
