The lecture will reasonably closely follow the book, but I will hand out my own homework on sheets with self-explaining assignments rather than saying `page x, pblm y,z,...'
In view of the additions in the 2nd chapter of this book, I recommend the newer, 2nd edition of 2011, but the older, 1st edition would also work if you don't mind a deviation. --- The 2nd edition has swapped sections in chapter 5 as compared to the 1st edition, and I intend to follow the ordering of the older edition
We will not be able to cover the 7th chapter of the book, but if you keep it for later, you'll find 7.1 (Jordan Canonical Form) useful reference for some material covered in 453 and used frequently in Math, and 7.3 (Matrix Exponentials) a useful reference for material usually covered in~431.
