Elementary Linear Algebra with Applications. Third Edition

by Richard O. Hill

This edition strives to develop students' geometric intuition as a foundation for learning the concepts of span and linear independence. Applications are integrated throughout to illustrate the mathematics and to motivate the student. Numerical ideas and concepts using the computer are interspersed throughout the text; instructors can use these at their discretion. This textbook allows the instructor considerable flexibility to choose the applications and numerical topics to be covered according to his or her tastes and the students' needs.

Only a very basic introduction to linear algebra, fit for a high school curriculum rather than college, or reference. The last chapter introduces some interesting applications, but greater depth would be useful. I also think complex numbers should have been considered, they were briefly mentioned once, but none of the details and intricacies of working with them were explained.

Not a bad introduction but I would go for a more modern approach. I was exposed to linear algebra concepts like eigenvectors while doing graduate coursework for physical chemistry/quantum mechanics. I taught myself linear algebra with this book and it did the job, but I don't think it's the greatest introduction. May be different if you have a teacher. The last chapter had concepts that seemed important but it was too condensed and I knew I would have to put in too much effort for its worth (the theory stuff) or were way to easy (application) like using eigenvalues to solve differential equations.
