LINEAR ALGEBRA
This text achieves a balance among computational skills, theories and applications of linear algebra. The contents can be arranged to allow for the presentation of a traditional introduction to linear algebra or a more applied course. More than 330 solved examples are included; many are computational and devoted to applications. This edition leans towards matrix computations and applications, and has a much less abstract focus than the second edition.

El oh el math is crazy dood.
Anyways, this textbook will probably help you learn Linear Algebra, if that’d something you wish to do! I think I’m just a bit dull when it comes to higher-level math, because the last couple of chapters of this text just didn’t make a lick of sense to me :-/ I don’t know if that’s due to a lack of smarts on my part, or a lack of helpful explanation on the author’s, so I’ll just say it probably makes sense to someone more math-minded than me.
Hmu if you need to calculate eigenvectors or find the basis for an orthogonal subspace though!
(Also, does anyone else feel this weird compulsion to finish a textbook if you’re assigned to read only 1/2-2/3 of it for your course? Or are you, yanno, sane?)
