About this title: This text has a highly applied and computational focus. It combines the important underlying theory discussions with examples from electrical engineering, computer science, physics, biology, and economics. There are twice as many examples in this edition as there were in previous editions. Many new exercises appear in the sections and in the chapter reviews, especially exercises that are simple but instructive. An expanded list of computer codes in an appendix and more computer-solvable exercises in the text reflect Strang's interest in computational linear algebra.
Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.

"This is the text book for his course on the OCW MIT YouTube videos. The course follows the text and having the text to refer to enhances the teaching in the video. This is a more complete exposition than is found in older texts in my possession. He emphasizes a method that is used in calculators. After watching a few lectures I was determined to get a better grasp of the subject. The book helps me in reaching this goal."
"Gilbert Strang has an uncontested position among my top 4 fantasy grandfathers. This man exudes a love for math and you can't help but be infected when you read his books.
Never does Strang slam an equation on the table and immediately expect you to calculate. Nay! Each equation is given its proper introduction. Like any proper courtship, the reader is led to learn about the equation's backgrounds, goals, and common activities before any intermingling takes place. Each exercise thereafter is a tiny little journey at the end of which something new is discovered.
Linear Algebra is a crucial topic for understanding probability, quantum mechanics, and a whole slew of other topics in engineering and mathematics. If you're interested in any of these areas, preparation with this book would not only be helpful but quite fun along the way.
"An excellent and accessible intro to Linear Algebra. As I've gone further, I've found many (even only medium-complex) topics that Strang omits, but I still find myself coming back here when I really want to understand what's going on in some Linear Algebra context."
