Determinants and Their Applications in Mathematical Physics

This book is unique. It contains a detailed account of all important relations in the analytic theory of determinants from the classical work of Laplace, Cauchy and Jacobi in the 18th and 19th centuries, to the most recent 20th century developments. Several contributions have never been published before. Mathematicians, physicists and engineers who wish to becom acquainted with modern developments in the analytic theory of determinants will find this book indispensible.
