Description

Well, nobody should really enjoy the study of linear algebra, unless (s)he is one of those awkward math persons... So for the majority of those studying this subject (engineers), I guess the book teaches sufficiently about the subject, not that it's really that important, unless you are a computer science major or something similar. The proofs are pretty tedious, so I haven't even TRIED to understand them. Basically the math professor just uses it to assign problems for us to do so that we can pass the midterms and final. However, some of the practice problems in each section are ridiculously horrible, containing near-impossible proofs of which only a math TA could fabricate. But you gotta admit that the book cover is pretty cool looking. And the inside text isn't too fugly either. It's basically trying to have a conversation with the reader, not that it's exciting or anything, because it's basically a mathematician talking to the average Joe. I hope it improves after Chapter 2...
