Perfect book to learn linear algebra.
This is a great book to learn linear algebra from. It introduce you for the basic of linear algebra, like matrices and how to work with them and what you can use them for. There are many matematics sentences in this book with proofs. Also you will learn how to manage determinants and eigenvectors, not forgetting the more difficult Normal Jordan Form (if you need that). The exercises are great to make you remember all the sentences. So if you want to learn more about vectors in dimensions, you can not imagine, such like 5-d, then here is your tool. Also the text is written so you can understand it, wihout beeing someone needing beeing perfect to English.

I hate maths, but with this book it becomes really easy
Doing Maths for my Computer Science Degree wasn't really what I envisaged. So I bought this book to help me with my maths. Incredibly I didn't struggle with it at all. The theory is well explained and the examples make it easy to quickly use the newly learned in practical applications. The authors go into enough detail so you can understand the stuff, not just learn it. On the other hand, they don't warp your brain with unnecessary junk. The proofs were especially helpfull. All in all an excellent book about linear algebra today.

Good Intro to Linear Algbera
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to gain a good understanding of the basics of Linear Algebra. It has many examples to accompany the theory which help the student prepare for exams and also the added bonus of MATLAB-a computer program that comes with the book that allows the user to perform many of the calculations gieven in the book. Also answers given at the back.
