About this title

Synopsis

A fine example of a great mathematician's intellect and mathematical style, this classic on linear algebra is widely cited in the literature. The treatment is an ideal supplement to many traditional linear algebra texts and is accessible to undergraduates with some background in algebra. "Extremely well-written and logical, with short and elegant proofs." ― MAA Reviews.
