TITLE: references for Jordan Canonical Forms
QUESTION [7 upvotes]: I am trying to study Jordan forms from the book by Hoffman and Kunze (chapters 6 and 7) and find it a little too terse. Could someone please suggest an alternative reference or a supplement to this book. 
Thanks.

REPLY [5 votes]: A very focused and short complete reference is Weintraub's "Jordan Canonical Form, Theory and Practice". Besides the notes by Matthews are very appropriate for a second course on linear and matrix algebra, developing, proving and explaining a great deal about canonical forms.
Hope this helps...
