Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-30 00:00:00 Morgan Rider A very wonderful read, the topics are presened in a concise manner with a proper notation that makes the proofs very easy to follow. Though I feel that the chapter on eigenvalues and eigenvectors wasn't very motivated, for the proofs could have been a little better, and I specifically complain about his proof for the fact that all symmetric linear mappings have orthogonal eigenvectors. I also enjoyed his brief treatment on quadratic forms. Overall an amazing book for an undergraduate aspiring to learn higher mathematics.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-10-23 00:00:00 Mikhail Prokhin Professor John Johnstone recommended this text, among several, as a good way to remember the linear algebra I've forgotten since 1994.
