Linear Algebra and Its Applications, 4th Ed

Renowned professor and author Gilbert Strang demonstrates that linear algebra is a fascinating subject by showing both its beauty and applications. While giving you the necessary mathematics, the book is not entirely concentrated on theorems and proofs. Strang explains rather than deduces; the emphasis is on understanding. This book is written in an informal and personal style and teaches real mathematics. In Chapter 2, the gears change as you transition to vector spaces. Throughout the book, the theory is motivated and reinforced by interesting and important applications.
