Basic Linear Algebra: 2nd Edition (Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series)

A very good self-teach study course. However, I found it a little too advanced for myself at this stage, so have bought "Teach Yourself Algebra."

The book was in an even better condition than described.

very new for a second-handed book!

An excellent book and a great guide in the bewildering world of linear analysis during my first year at uni.

Written by mathematicians for maths students. (i, j)th and sigma notation in first few pages. Esoteric and obscure language makes it up hill for a beginner. Needs to be more down to earth for engineers and include applications.

The contents: the book is concise and rigurous. Clarity and motivations are good. There are enough examples and almost all problems have solutions. Just as promised an just what I needed, so 5 stars. The printing: horrible print on demand with font size so tiny that make it difficult to read. I have read a lot of similar complains from Springer printings. The authors are Blyth & Robertson, not Montaigne as announced by amazon.

I need a linear algebra book for reference in my research and this one (as well as the other book "further linear algebra" fits that purpose well. I kind of thinking that the exercises are way too easy, though.
