Reddit reviews Linear Algebra (2nd Edition)

Linear Algebra Done Right is a good introduction, but if you want to go beyond an undergraduate level, try Linear Algebra by Hoffman and Kunze.

Linear Algebra and [Linear Algebra and Its Applications] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0321385179).

There is a resource list on math stack for undergraduate and graduate level books inmathematics. There are similar pages like this but this has a few good ones.

​

Typical math undergrad curriculum goes: Calc 1-3, Diff eq, proofs, real analysis, linear algebra, abstract algebra, complex analysis and topology along with some electives.


i see high school students try to take on too much frequently. I'd look at real analysis andlinear algebra.

I can't help you with professors, but back when I took linear algebra in 2010 I found Linear Algebra by Hoffman and Kunze to be very helpful.

Link to the US version.

A few Suggestions:

• Kostrikin - Linear algebra and Geometry: The best there is. This book is solid and you can go far with it, it's a book for life. But beware that some of it's exercises are really difficult.
  
  
• Hoffman - Linear Algebra: This one has lots of examples and is particularly good on the eingenvectors part you want, but sometimes the notation is bad.
  
  
• Lang - Linear Algebra
  
  All this books can easily be found. Good luck.

Strang is alright. Hoffman and Kunze is where it's really at.

Grab a copy of this book from a local university or public library (or pay the massive price tag if you can afford it). It's a great text.

I think a rigorous course in linear algebra is the right place to start. Not only does the subject in some sense unify geometry and algebra, it's also necessary to understand it if you want to understand more advanced topics.

This text is the bible of linear algebra.

I’d recommend reading a text on linear algebra. Hoffman is pretty thorough: Linear Algebra (2nd Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0135367972/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_oZkMAb4NH15B3

Strang's book is a fantastic resource for learning linear algebra but as you stated that your problem in you current text is the fact that it does not offer as much theory as you would like I am going to recommend another one of the MIT books Linear Algebra by Hoffman and Kunze I used this text book in my honors class and it is definitely not short on theory but you might want to keep you other textbook around for clarification on some issues as it can be quite opaque at some parts.
