   course description
This course is a follow up on Math 504: Linear Algebra and Analysis. Central to this course are the following ten theorems, which will be treated along with their background, consequences and applications:
  1. Toeplitz-Hausdorff Theorem
  2. Ando's characterization of the numerial radius unit ball
  3. Lyapunov's Theorem
  4. Fischer's Inequality for M-matrices
  5. Birkhoff's Theorem
  6. A. Horn's Matrix Product Theorem
  7. A. Horn's Sufficiency Theorem
  8. Solvability Theorem for AX+XB=C
  9. Schur Product Theorem
  10. Lie Product Formula
