Introduction
This book is an excellent introduction to linear algebra and
is the consistent textbook for Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) linear
algebra course 18.06. If you plan to
seriously study any of the physical sciences: mathematics, physics,engineering etc.
you will do well to master linear algebra. It is one common pervasive theme is all
of these subjects. This book will guarantee that mastery and was designed to help students
from all of these disciplines. It is quite enjoyable to read and has a very nice set of
problems to work.
In 2006 I worked with some students who wanted to truly master this material. During that
time I read and worked through all the problems from the book.
I also worked many of the Matlab
computational exercises.
