Negative Positive
Title: Reprint of 1999/2000 Edition
Review: The edition dated 2009 is not a second edition. It is a reprint of the hardcover 1999 or 2000 editions targeting Mathematica 3. While the text contains helpful applications of linear algebra to chemistry and electronics, references to deprecated features of Mathematica make the learning experience expensive in time and one resorts to the bundled or online documentation of Mathematica anyway. Images of the user interface are a little grainy and dark, while pictures of gui elements such as palettes are plain awful.I understand one can still use the book to augur some sense out of Mathematica 7+in regards to Linear Algebra but I would of hoped that the books "currentness" was a little more advertised and a little less expensive.
Is the review positive or negative?
