…one in the same league/group which is Linear Algebra: An Introduction to Abstract Mathematics by Robert Valenza[3]. Other favorites are Coding the Matrix by Philip Klein[4] for Python aficionados and Linear Algebra Through Geometry by Banchoff/Wermer[5] for those who like geometry. If you are way beyond all this, you can still pick up new things from Advanced Linear Algebra by Steven Roman[6]. [0] https://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Stephen-H-Friedberg-eb...…
on “The best linear algebra books” ↗…following books helped me a lot: - The visual series. Visual Complex Analysis and Visual Group Theory, for instance - Pinter's A book of Abstract Algebra - Strichartz's The Way of Analysis - Linear Algebra Through Geometry by Wermer. The book offers a comprehensive geometric interpretation to linear algebra concepts. It's especially helpful for me to understand quadratic forms. To understand Analysis better. This area…
