I have a vague feeling that this book is disappearing form the scene of linear algebra. It's from 2005 and hard to come by. It does what it is supposed to, but I'll wager that you can find 20 linear algebra books that does the same. The "using MATLAB part" is negligible. It had some confusing parts, namely changes of bases, which I then read in Linear Algebra and Its Applications, and it made much more sense! I'd probably recommend that book instead of this one, if it weren't that I know for sure that you will get a good grasp of linear algebra from here. I haven't read the other one.
Some pretty bad things about the format: my book's bindings and print was so shitty that all the pages are falling out, and it's practically a photocopy of a photocopy. You can't see any of the graphs because of the gray scaled shitty printer they used and some sentences are cut off at the bottom on the paper. Oh, and it cost me 116 dollars! Not a good deal. I still very much like it's contents and this is (probably) no fault of Kenneth Hardy.
If you have the book already, read it; it IS good. If not, you should probably find another - such as Linear Algebra and Its Applications, which helped me when this one couldn't.
