Indeed - I recommended Strang's book in this article and the previous one.
- xrange 9y agoThe Strang book: "Introduction to Linear Algebra" does seem to have quite a few "high quality" 1-star reviews. They mostly seem to cluster around this book not being good for a linear algebra introduction, for someone new to the field. Typical comments: "It seems the reviewers who think this book is wonderful for non-math majors are math majors!" https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Linear-Algebra-Gilbert-Strang/product-reviews/0980232775/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_paging_btm_next_2?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews&pageNumber=2#reviews-filter-bar https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Linear-Algebra-Gilbert-S... ...I of course expect that any popular book will have 1 star reviews, especially by people who had a hard time with the material. Anyone have thoughts whether the Strang book is better as a supplement to other texts in coming up to speed on Linear Algebra? Other book recommendations?
