Product Description
Book Description
Fraleigh and Beauregard's text is known for its clear presentation and writing style, mathematical appropriateness, and overall usability. Its inclusion of calculus-related examples, true/false problems, section summaries, integrated applications, and coverage of Cn make it a superb text for the sophomore or junior-level linear algebra course. This Third Edition retains the features that have made it successful over the years, while addressing recent developments of how linear algebra is taught and learned. Key concepts are presented early on, with an emphasis on geometry.
KEY TOPICS: Vectors, Matrices, and Linear Systems; Dimension, Rank, and Linear Transformations; Vector Spaces; Determinants; Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors; Orthogonality; Change of Basis; Eigenvalues: Further Applications and Computations; Complex Scalars; Solving Large Linear Systems
MARKET: For all readers interested in linear algebra.

Not easy to understand,
By Bopape Lesiba Elias (Ithaca, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Linear Algebra (Paperback)
I do not find the book suitable for an introductory course in linear algebra. It takes too much time to get through a page in this book due to the use of heavy mathematical language. The examples are not enough to help a student solve the exercices at the end of the book, so often times one has to always rely on the TA office hours to get a homework done. I do not recommend buying this text for a beginner in linear algebra, unless if it's required text for a course.

Absolutely Brutal,
By Nick Oostveen (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Linear Algebra (Paperback)
I've recently had the misfortune of having this book as my text for an introductory linear algebra book. The subject can be hard enough to understand on its own, but this book makes it even worse. The examples are sparse at best, and most of the time are wasted by displaying the proof of a cryptic concept instead of actually assisting to answer the questions in the book. Even worse, when the book does provide a practical example, it often only shows the steps used to complete the problem, not even bothering to explain it! If you are stuck with this book as a course text, I would highly recommend finding a second, more useful book if you wish to get more than a passing grade.

Not the best for beginners, but still good,
By A Customer
This review is from: Linear Algebra (Paperback)
After giving up on this book when I first learned Linear Algebra,it has turned out to be a very good reference book on the subject. If you need to, use Anton's book to learn the subject, but
