Title: An Absolutely Terrible Text
Review: Simply stated, this is the worst textbook I have ever used or seen in my life. Poorly organized and terribly written, this text may be fine for someone who has already had linear algebra and wants a compact review of the material, but it is an absolutely terrible source to learn from. The author does an incredibly poor job of explaining the concepts and mathematics behind linear algebra, forcing the student to learn the material completely on his own using other sources. My professor remarked one day that this is the best book on the market. If so, the market is in a very sad state right now. Do yourself a favor and get another book, and if you're a professor, for the love of your students and mathematics, DO NOT USE THIS BOOK IN THE CLASSROOM.
