User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Somehow, the “DeMystified” series appears to be a ringing phenomenon with me. Perhaps, my very broad background in academics has made it easier, much easier to appeal to my sense of perception in sifting through drivel, bore on the one hand, and seriousness and relevance, on the other hand. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a quick “baptism” in the fundamentals of linear algebra.

⭐I bought this book as a companion to “Linear Algebra for Dummies.” It’s less comprehensive in putting abstract terminology into laymen’s terms than the Dummies book, but it’s still a helpful resource. The best thing about this book is that it has lots of examples that are easy to follow. It’s worth buying, but I recommend buying it as a companion to another book such as the Dummies book.

⭐There are some pretty good examples in this book and I use it much more than others I have purchased. There are glaring omissions from the subject matter but the basics are there and is a good supplement.

⭐Linear Algebra Demystified is essentially just a compendium of definitions. The ‘examples’ it employs are copious, but purely mathematical in nature. Aside from getting off to a good start in chapter 1 (by talking about “systems of simultaneous equations”) the book never refers to any real-world problems thereafter, and fails to ask-and-answer any kind of obvious (to the reader) “What would I do with any of this?” questions.There are a few spelling/grammar typos, but the bigger quality issues are the technical mistakes that indicate (to me, anyway) that this book may not have gone through any kind of design review or proof-reading from any of Mr. McMahon’s peers in mathematics. For a guy who is supposedly working in the field of nuclear power, that’s a scary thought (Mr. McMahon should have insisted on it, even if the good people at McGraw-Hill didn’t). I suspect that the fundamental problem, though, is that, because all of the “Demystified . . ” books are aimed at a low price-point, they simply can’t afford the expense (and delay) of peer review. That’s fair enough, unless you’re the kind of person who believes that, if you’re not going to do something right, then don’t do it at all. And, at the end of the day, I guess I am such a person. Between Linear Algebra Demystified, and the even more numerous & egregious mistakes in DSP Demystified, I regard the entirety of the whole “Demystified . . ” book series as suspect (Yes, I know that a sample of two is not statistically valid, but I’m afraid my patience stops here).

⭐A portable quick reference. It is not a textbook really, but is a handy reference to go with a standard linear algebra text, or as a handy reference if one is reading subject matter that depends on a knowledge of linear algebra at an undergraduate level.

⭐I am taking a linear algebra class and it has been a good complement to my class book.

⭐The book spills out formulas without adequate explanation. I don’t learn unless I understand. It’s a good book if you want to review concepts and formulas learnt elsewhere! The examples are simple and to the point, which is good.Overall, don’t buy the book if you want to learn Linear Algebra for the first time, but get it if you want a refresher.

⭐Good book , easy to read. I wish it had far more exercises to work.

⭐Bueno para un recordatorio rápido, pero no tanto para profundizar en la materia ya que no entra en detalles ni muestra métodos alternos de solución.

⭐Not found.

⭐A very good book ,
