About this title: Linear algebra is relatively easy for students during the early stages of the course, when the material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting.

"I felt like this was one of the best mathematical textbooks I've had the pleasure of using. Excerises seem perfectly targeted for each section and the text does have some limited time (space) for brief discussions on real world applications.
