New edition extensively revised and updated
Covers new topics such as product spaces, quotient spaces, and dual spaces
Features new visually appealing format for both print and electronic versions
Includes almost three times the number of exercises as the previous edition
This best-selling textbook for a second course in linear algebra is aimed at undergrad math majors and graduate students. The novel approach taken here banishes determinants to the end of the book. The text focuses on the central goal of linear algebra: understanding the structure of linear operators on finite-dimensional vector spaces. The author has taken unusual care to motivate concepts and to simplify proofs. A variety of interesting exercises in each chapter helps students understand and manipulate the objects of linear algebra.
The third edition contains major improvements and revisions throughout the book. More than 300 new exercises have been added since the previous edition. Many new examples have been added to illustrate the key ideas of linear algebra. New topics covered in the book include product spaces, quotient spaces, and dual spaces. Beautiful new formatting creates pages with an unusually pleasant appearance in both print and electronic versions.
No prerequisites are assumed other than the usual demand for suitable mathematical maturity. Thus the text starts by discussing vector spaces, linear independence, span, basis, and dimension. The book then deals with linear maps, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors. Inner-product spaces are introduced, leading to the finite-dimensional spectral theorem and its consequences. Generalized eigenvectors are then used to provide insight into the structure of a linear operator.
From reviews of previous editions:
“… a didactic masterpiece”
—Zentralblatt MATH
“… a tour de force in the service of simplicity and clarity … The most original linear algebra book to appear in years, it certainly belongs in every undergraduate library.”
—CHOICE
The determinant-free proofs are elegant and intuitive.
—American Mathematical Monthly
“Clarity through examples is emphasized … the text is ideal for class exercises … I congratulate the author and the publisher for a well-produced textbook on linear algebra.”
—Mathematical Reviews

毕业已有许多年,此次因为某些原因,重拾线性代数,有幸读到这本书。 本书强调本质和动机,从另外一个角度诠释了线性代数,读过之后不但知其然,更加知其所以然。一般的书中只会教你如何把矩阵化成上三角阵,而这本书则会告诉你上三角阵的真正含义是什么。虽然矩阵与行列式是被...
評分现在回头看,其实就是早先国内教法僵化,赶不上时代了,这本书又恰巧被引进过来,所以显得弥足珍贵。 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 给大学新生上的线性代数和高等数学课,也许是为了侧重灌输实用知识,教给学生的更多是一堆眼花缭乱的...
評分好久好久没有写书评了(到现在也只写过一次而已),趁某位大神复活全法也跟着一起复活的时候写点东西,那就写这本黄皮旧旧旅行杀人必带的书吧。 首先说来惭愧,第8、9和10章到现在还没有完全看完,第7章也没有很仔细地看,第4章也大约跳过去了,但这本书最最精彩的1~3可是反...

評分不配这个评分
這是一本我願意用“優美”去形容的數學書,純粹的數學思維,完全不考慮應用。作者好心地公布瞭習題答案,http://linearalgebras.com/
评分讀瞭半本
评分好多人打三星的理由都是這本書不適閤初學者學...但是這個不是從目錄就看得齣來嗎 跳過傳統教材中的矩陣/行列式直接從綫性空間/映射的角度入手我覺得對於後麵進階內容的學習很有幫助啊 況且大部分的綫代教材不太會講quotient space, duality, spectral theorem之類的吧 正如某位網友評論所道 “用泛函分析降維攻擊綫性代數” 這本書如果拿來第二遍復習鞏固的話會發現整個體係非常漂亮
评分5/5.
评分第三版加入瞭對偶空間的內容和一些習題,話說另外一本Done wrong也很好~
