Great book for those interested in the theory of Linear Algebra at the introductory level
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is a great book for those interested in the theory of linear algebra. If you want to read some theorems and do some proofs in linear algebra, then I highly reccommend this book. I used it in an undergad. course and liked it. I read the first 3 chapters and the chapter on determinants, and I have no big complaints. However, if you are going to use this book for a one semester course in linear algebra, then i'll warn you that it is hard to cover all the material in one semester, and you will probably have to read 3 or more important chapters on your own, but you can learn from this book on your own easily with a little patience and desire for proof writing. Although the book is not an applied version, you will learn about many applications throughout the text. Overall, I recommend this text, and for physics majors, you may want to check out Applied Linear Algebra, The Decoupling Principle by Lorenzo A. Sadun. Also, a student solutions manual is availabe for this book, which you will find helpful if you have never read a mathematical proofs text before.
A great linear algebra book

My department recently adopted this book for our regular undergraduate linear algebra course upon the recommendation of a colleague of mine and myself. I am currently teaching from it and am delighted by it.The book is concisely written, with just the right amount of detail to help the student understand the concepts but without sweeping any tricky details under the rug. The topics are arranged in the right order to avoid unnecessary repetition. One can even use an appendix to integrate complex vector spaces fairly easily into the syllabus.A great book!
