I am currently writing a multivolume treatise entitled Matrix
Algorithms.  The present Volume I is entitled Basic Decompositions.  I
have recently rewritten the third chapter and completed a fourth.
They can be obtained by anonymous ftp from

    thales.cs.umd.edu  in  pub/survey

or through my home page at

    http://www.cs.umd.edu/~stewart/

The first two chapters contain introductory material from mathematics
and computer science and the third chapter is on Gaussian elimination.
The fourth chapter on the QR decomposition and least squares.  A fifth
on rank determination will complete the volume.  For more information
see the preface.

I am distributing the book in the hope that it will be helpful to
others and that others will be willing to help me with their comments
and corrections.  Please feel free to make copies for your personal
use.  However, if you want to make copies to distribute to a class,
please ask my permission (it will generally be forthcoming).
