Linear Algebra with Applications
"Nicholson Linear Algebra" 6e introduces the general idea of Linear Algebra much earlier than the competition keeping with the same rigorous and concise approach to linear algebra. Along with the many diagrams and examples that help students visualize, the 6e also keeps with the continuous introduction of concepts. Number 1 advantage is in Chap 5 known as the 'bridging chapter' helps stop students from 'hitting the wall' when abstract vector spaces are introduced in chap 6.

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?)
