Most books on linear algebra deal more with the representation than with the real stuff. This is an excellent book but it's not for everyone. Teaches Linear Algebra as an Algebra. But I recommend this book very highly to anyone who wants to appreciate the beauty of (actual) linear algebra or needs a stepping stone to more advanced books such as Roman's, or books on linear functional analysis and Hilbert spaces such as, Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2008.

Find all the books, read about the author, and more. You can still see all customer reviews for the product. I imagine that Linear Algebra Done Right would also be a good introduction for someone who hasn't done any linear algebra at all. It was not my choice, but since students had already bought this book for the Fall semester part of the course I decided to stick with it for my Spring semester part. However, as a desk reference this is exactly what I needed. I knew about vector spaces, I understood what 'linearity' entailed, and I was acquainted with the standard tools of linear algebra. New topics covered in the book include product spaces, quotient spaces, and dual spaces. In addition to the hundreds of little improvements and added exercises, the main substantive improvements are the addition of material on duality (functionals were covered in the previous edition, but not dual spaces), treatment of product and quotient spaces, and a new approach to deriving results for real spaces from those for complex spaces. That is to say, roughly speaking, the author starts dealing with the GEOMETRY of classic orthogonal and unitary groups O(n) and U(n), not having finished to say what happens in the general linear groups GL(n,F), F=R or C. Hence, IMHO, there is a strange break, since duality, tensor products, etc. Excellent treatment of second year linear algebra, Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2011. I like Axler's elementary, nice start, refreshing what complex numbers are, but couldn't he provide a more elementary proof of the so called fundamental theorem of algebra(FTA)? This book is concise and extremely well laid out. I'm finally back into Study Mode. He is an editor of the Missouri Journal of Mathematical Sciences. I just finished an independent study of this book, because i'm preparing for a graduate level analysis course using Royden, and felt that my finite dimensional linear algebra background was insufficient to make the jump to infinite dimensional spaces. My understanding of Linear Algebra improved drastically as I read this book. Chapters 3, 5, and 6 were very helpful, and really helped me build up my intuition for linear algebra. Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2014, I highly recommend this book as a text or supplemental text to any undergraduate linear algebra course. The third edition contains major improvements and revisions throughout the book. I have had several proofs based courses, including two semesters of analysis, and one semester each of group theory and topology. This is not a complete book of linear algebra. So if one wants to learn about the algebra in linear algebra, one needs to look elsewhere and Linear Algebra Done Right not only does it right but also makes it fun. Given a linear map and a basis for each of the source and the target spaces, we can completely describe the linear map by seeing what it does to each basis vector. Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2013. The methods for dealing with real spaces introduced here are repeated frequently in different contexts for the remainder of the book. Discussion with other students should help. I read about half of The Logic of Provability and studied a little topology. and since it sticks to essentials, it moves along at a nice clip. Inner-product spaces are introduced, leading to the finite-dimensional spectral theorem and its consequences. Below, I'll review the contents of the text before giving a more detailed overview of the book as a whole. ISSN 0172-6056 ISSN 2197-5604 ... excerpts in connection with reviews or scholarly analysis or material supplied specifically for the ... linear algebra books use determinants to prove that every linear operator on A big reason I switched classes was the text, Linear Algebra Done Right by … Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2018, Review as in headline. (One exception: 8.40 was so problematic for me I thought to check the preface to the book and sure enough, he credited that one to another mathematician.) The sections about trace and determinants of an operator are very useful. This is the only book I know of that does it this way & I think I liked it better like that. That was a neat realization. (You can torture an impressive amount of information out of a matrix.) This is pretty powerful. This book is beautiful only in the sense that this is printed in colored fonts. The new edition does the same, but the complexification simplifies the real-case proofs a good bit because they can be done a corollaries of the complex case results. The desire for compactness meant showing one path from result A to result B, not all possible paths; that comes with maturity over time. Symplectic "inner" products, and the transformations preserving them, are needed in geometry and hamiltonian mechanics, while the special groups preserve those dangerous determinants...So, summing up, I find this book not entirely "right", neither in content nor in its structure nor in its scope; rather, it's just LA done more or less OK. On the other hand, there are many books, equivalent to Axler's, but with much less flamboyant titles. LOLZ". I also like how he emphasizes the concepts of vector spaces, inner product spaces, etc rather than matrices (although they do appear but they're not emphasized) while determinants are done last. I completed this book as an undergraduate introductory course to linear algebra and formal proofs. in pure math and had this as required reading. This book is very easy to read, especially compared to other books on abstract linear algebra. The chapter concludes by showing that the polar decomposition leads to a singular value decomposition, which essentially states that every operator on an inner product space has a diagonal matrix with respect to two orthonormal bases. Linear algebra has far-reaching impact, and while I learned it in college, I was mostly just memorizing passwords. After viewing product detail pages, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in. A variety of interesting exercises in each chapter helps students understand and manipulate the objects of linear algebra. This best-selling textbook for a second course in linear algebra is aimed at undergrad math majors and graduate students. With these two concepts in hand, the chapter shows that every operator on an inner product space can be decomposed into an isometry and a positive operator (which is the square of the square root of the original operator). There are some interesting results here if you're new to the field (for example, any two vectors which are not scalar multiples of each other, no matter how close they are to each other, span an entire plane).
