Mostly bland and unsatisfying explanations

A very good undergraduate book dealing with Linear Algebra. The text is very clear on the subject. But, the real strength of this book is the examples is using the MatLab computer program. I have been able to duplicate the problems using Octave computer program.

I really love this book which is maybe saying a lot considering most hate math, and math books.

This book helped me fall in love with linear algebra and matrices.
It's really interesting!

Better ones out there (Hoffman and Kunze, Strang, etc).

very good algebra textbook. If your professor gives you a choice between books, choose this one.
