Linear Algebra Done Right

Truth is we in India think we are taught linear algebra from our schools, but are never taught linear algebra. What we are taught is to manipulate a certain set of numbers put in a matrix form that gives us answers for unknown reasons. Linear Algebra is beautiful. Much of it comes from geometry. But who is to know that based on what we are taught? Enter Axler. He painstakingly builds up your base in various topics like set theory, fields, bases, dimensions, projections to enable you to get to a point where you re-understand a part of maths that is lost to you, because of the way it has been taught. LADR is not complete - it doesn't cover everything. But what it does cover is built. Not just in the book, but in the reader. It won't be an easy read. But when you are done with about 130 pages of this book, you will get a fresh perspective on all of LA. and LA is pervasive in all of maths. Further, LA is pervasive in much of CS, and in all of machine learning. Getting into those fields without a complete understanding of LA is like entering a flower garden without a sense of smell. Why Linear Algebra? Matrix Algebra tells you how to get the numbers that you want. Linear Algebra tells you why you get them. Bonus: I believe Linear Algebra Done Right is Springer's best seller across all the mathematics textbooks that it sells (saw this in an old excel sheet shared by springer with a publisher). Recommendation: 1. For self study: Do Gilbert Strang if you want to get through your exams. But Strang is not rigorous. If you really like mathematics, there is no better book to start your journey in Linear Algebra than Axler. 2. For college courses: Should be primary text for undergraduate LA students.

Every graduate student must read!. Recommended for those who are mastering theoretical linear algebra. Good selection of exercises. Also I recommend read/ go through his famous award winning paper "down with determinants".

Love this book. The way it explains linear algebra in an abstract way. It just beautiful. And the page quantity of a hard cover is 💓. Recommended to anyone who wants to learn linear algebra in an abstract way.

I bought this book as a starter for my machine learning journey along with "Introduction to Linear Algebra" by Strang. (5th edition) Delivered on time and the packaging was perfect. No damages on the book.

I first read first and one-third of the second chapter from the free pdf available. I really liked it, so I purchased the book. It's a book that teaches Linear Algebra in a right way. I liked the approach of the author. As the title says it's "LINEAR ALGEBRA DONE RIGHT". I rated 4 stars instead of 5, because the book doesn't look original and the spine doesn't look like it is going to last long. But the content of the book is top notch.

Good quality i received

service is very good as I expect.Very very thanks

I like this book and Amazon.
