No bullshit guide to linear algebra Paperback – 2 April 2017

A delightful linear algebra book, I really enjoyed learning from it.

I have not gone through much yet.. so will review later.

Fantastic book. Focus is on intuition.

This is one of the most useful math education books I have read. It's intro math review is excellent in itself. For me the book has a perfect pace, it is succinct without being overwhelming and clips along and an enjoyable pace. There are plenty of useful exercises. There is also some humour embedded into some of the test questions.The book has helped me beef up my linear algebra study for following Andrew Ng's courses.

I should make clear from the start - and I have spent five weeks full-time with this book!This book *alone* will not give you a good grounding in Linear Algebra. Simply speaking the contents barely scratch the surface and you will require significant read-around to be able to progress - this especially applies to the initial foundation chapter.Why five star then? Well... it actually forms the excellent basis for a syllabus you can follow (along with supplementary) material to genuinely start from absolute scratch to gain quite a good knowledge of Linear Algebra. Couple this with the free OpenStax textbooks for basic Algebra/Trig/Geometry (available free on Amazon as ebooks as well as on their website) , work hard, practice a lot, couple this with some youtube videos and you'll succeed.Five stars as a "mentor" to guide you along the track, but the book alone unless you have some math background isn't sufficient.Likely one of very few books that can provide this sort of guidance from zero maths to eigenvalues....

Higgledy-piggledy..... not a good or well-structured treatment of the subject. I would by far recommend Prof. Gilbert Strang of MIT's books over the likes of this one!!
