Linear algebra via exterior products
by Sergei Winitzki
Publisher: Ludwig-Maximilians University 2010
Number of pages: 285
Description:
A pedagogical introduction to the coordinate-free approach in basic finite-dimensional linear algebra. The reader should be already exposed to the elementary array-based formalism of vector and matrix calculations. In this book, the author makes extensive use of the exterior product of vectors. He shows how the standard properties of determinants, the Liouville formula, the Hamilton-Cayley theorem, and Pfaffians, as well as some results concerning eigenspace projectors can be derived without cumbersome matrix calculations.

The Theory of Determinants and Their Applicationsby Robert Forsyth Scott - Cambridge University Press
In the present treatise I have attempted to give an exposition of the Theory of Determinants and their more important applications. The treatise uses Grassmann's alternate units, by means of which the study of determinants is much simplified.
