Linear Algebra With Applications

by Steven J. Leon

A textbook for an undergraduate course for students familiar with the basics of differential and integral calculus from either one semester or two quarters of elementary calculus. Contains all the topics recommended by the NSF's Linear Algebra Curriculum Study Group, and more material than can be covered in a quarter or semester. Courses at the sophomore level can focus on the early chapters and omit many of the sections in later chapters. Courses at the junior or senior level can skate over the first two chapters and get to the meat. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

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.
