    Linear Algebra Books for Quantum Mechanics Students

    Anyone have a recommendation for a good linear algebra book (Maybe one that dabbles in multilinear/tensor stuff, too)? I'm doing QM at the level of Sakurai, but finding my linear algebra background to be a little lacking as I venture into the deep dark depths of chapter 3.

    Graduate Complex Dielectric Constant Question

    Hello, I'm trying to follow along in my Solid State Physics book, but I'm getting hung up on an equation for the complex dielectric constant. \widetilde{\epsilon_r}=\epsilon_L+j\widetilde{\sigma}/\omega Multiply through by the definition of the complex conductivity, so that we get...
