Synopsis

"There are useful discussions of two nonstandard topics which caught my eye, the method of least squares and Markov processes, consistent with the author's concern for the applications and the expected readership, which render the text useful for business, economics and social science students as well as those in physical sciences and engineering ... the book has great value for self study as well as adoption as a classroom text ... By all means adopt Robinson's text and enjoy spreading the gospel of linear algebra."

"... it is very carefully written, both from the point of view of mathematical content and style, and readability ... It should therefore be very suitable as a course book as well as for self-tuition."
