Review: This book is bad in every way. It neither promotes better understanding of linear algebra, nor does it present a good depth of material. This text isn't worth the money because you learn almost nothing, but you do get to read Strang's mumbo jumbo about how beatiful linear algebra is. I agree with him here, but how about he just sat down and taught me?I had to read other books to learn the material. My two favorites are "Elementary Linear algebra" by Anton, and "Modern algebra" by Warner. The second one is a general algebra book, but goes into considerable depth on vector spaces, linear transformations and inner product spaces--the three fundamental concepts which Strang omits for fear that they'll clutter the students' "weak minds".
Is the review positive or negative?
