This book is written in the most complicated possible way! It feels like the writer hates the readers and does not want us to understand anything.
I'm pulling my hair while reading this book! I was surely about to lose all my interest in linear algebra after reading this book! I can barely understand it. This book is surely NOT for beginners who are trying to understand linear algebra from the scratch!
This book used so many notations to explain something, that I am forgetting the notations themselves before understanding the topic. I have watched few youtube videos after I tried to go through this book. I think I am understanding much better from youtube and other books.
My suggestion to the new students of linear algebra: DO NOT FOLLOW/READ this book if you are trying to understand linear algebra from the scratch! You will surely lose interest soon. :(
