Negative Positive
Title: disappointing
Review: When I started reading it, the book seemed excellent, but beyond chapter 4, I became extermely bored, and very disappointed towards the end when having paid a rediculous amount for it, I learned absolutely nothing and instead read Strang's incoherent babbling about just how wonderful linear algebra is. I was new to the topic, so I imagine the book must be a complete waste of time for someone who's got a bit of experience. Luckily, I found better linear algebra books. In fact, one of the reviewers has suggested the book by Friedberg, and I would agree that title is 100times better, but it could be a bit abstract.The point is, Strang's book is an expensive flop, with much hype and little substance.
Is the review positive or negative?
