Rich selection of examples and explanations, as well as a wide range of exercises at the end of every section.

User’s Reviews

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

⭐This text was used by the professor, however I found the notation used confusing and vague. The book was shipped well and good quality.

⭐I purchased the Kindle edition to this book and was very disappointed. The text itself is readable, but matrices and equation formatting is so bad that the book is unreadable. The matrices often will display interspersed or overlaid with text. Sub and superscripts do not render correctly. Bullet lists are not displayed correctly.I do not recommend this book at all in the Kindle edition.

⭐sadly the reviews out in the world wide web are a bit off on this book. the condition was good, but the book leaves a bit to be desired.

⭐Good

⭐I guess I just love this book. It’s exactly as advertised: rigorous yet practical. What sets this book apart is that it’ll make you fluent in rigorous mathematical notation, as a side-effect. You’ll begin reading more advanced material after this. You’ll be writing your matrixes in sigma notation in no-time!On the whole, this covers what any other LA book does (could it be any different?). I think here and there it could have provided more proofs.The approach is always finite-dimensional.It’s a book geared for students having a matrix-oriented approach and yet wish to remain with a foot on the more mathy side of the learning experience, aiming at “the next level” of mathematical maturity. For maths and physics undergraduates, I guess.

⭐This is a well-balanced book with ample examples, sketches on some theoretical details and notes on some important applications. If you have been exposed to linear algebra previously, the first few parts may look like a scaled-down version of Hoffman. The next few ones you may identify with some problems in quantum mechanics, etc. that somehow had frustrated you a bit. However, the topics it covers are rather comprehensive. A beginning student may need a good set of lectures & tutorials to accompany with. But this might make a good intermediary between the elementary matrix theory and the more advanced & systematic linear algebra. For a person like me who sometimes needs to refresh the memory it worked fine.

⭐If you are a starter in linear algebra, I recommend this book to you as a kind accompany. While you are studying, you will be familiar with matrix and linear algebra. In this book, the authors provide kind introduction to a new subject and detailed proof of theorems. They also give many problems so that you may not only know the theory but also have ability to perform matrix algebra.
