Introduction to Linear Algebra

by Lee W. Johnson, R. Dean Riess, Jimmy Arnold

Introduction to Linear Algebra, Sixth Edition, is a foundation text that bridges both practical computation and theoretical principles. This book's flexible table of contents makes it suitable for students majoring in science and engineering as well as students who want an introduction to mathematical abstraction and logical reasoning.A To achieve this flexibility, the authors focus on three principle topics: matrix theory and systems of linear equations, elementary vector space concepts, and the eigenvalue problem. This highly adaptable text is appropriate for a one-quarter or one-semester course at the sophomore/junior level, or for a more advanced class at the junior/senior level.

So, in my opinion, if you read a whole text book, it deserves to go on the list. As far as rating the textbook, its fine. Not the best one I've read, but not that bad either.

Great book. in brand new condition just like it said on the description. It has solutions in the back of the book to Odd problems

[Rebecca]

Blood, sweat, and tears went into this book. Mostly tears.
It was unfortunately not written with poor sleep-deprived Rebecca in mind, but she persevered, and then cried some more.
I think non sleep-deprived Rebecca would actually enjoy this book, but alas, she was on vacation, leaving sleep-deprived Rebecca to struggle alone.

This is a great theoretical introduction to linear algebra. One of the few textbooks I've used in school I like to keep around.
