"I have a strong disliking of linear algebra... this book isn't the best, but it really helped me get through a class. For that I will always be thankful to it. I highly recommend picking up the solutions manual as well (there was rumor in class of some people having an instructor's edition, but I never found it)."
"Bias alert: I helped a bit get this book ready for publication. And now, with that bias...
I enjoyed teaching with the earlier editions of this book, and should I ever teach my own linear algebra course, I will certainly use the current version. Especially having recently helped teach from other lin. alg. texts, I find the clarity in this book to be simply outstanding. Perhaps it simply fits my style, but I long to teach from this book."
