| Linear Algebra Demystified by McGraw-Hill Professional A great book for students |
| This book is really clear. It's a lot easier to understand than the book we are using for the class and has helped me grasp the lectures better. |
| Linear Algebra Demystified by McGraw-Hill Professional Too many typos in the examples |
| There are so many typos in the examples that I find the book useless. For example, on page 13, the number 13 in the matrix suddenly becomes a 19, and remains the same throughout most of the example. On the top of page 25, the matrix multiplication has three typos! I cannot recommend this book to anyone. The author should have taken more time to check his work. |
| Linear Algebra Demystified by McGraw-Hill Professional Not for a real college level course |
| I bought this book after reading tons of positive reviews praising it. It was meant for a preview to my Linear Algebra and Applications class and as an alternative reference. I read through about half of the book before the semester began, but we pretty much learned everything I read from this within two weeks. I gave up on it and it was just sitting there until I decided to further clarify to myself the concept of kernel and image, and all the proof questions associated with them. And guess what, this book doesn't even address these concepts. Now I have no reason to even open this book because real college level courses go well beyond this depth and relying on the information in here for tests is just an academic suicide... |
| Linear Algebra Demystified by McGraw-Hill Professional Not a Self Teaching Guide for first timers! |
The book spills out formulas without adequate explanation. I don't learn unless I understand. It's a good book if you want to review concepts and formulas learnt elsewhere! The examples are simple and to the point, which is good.
Overall, don't buy the book if you want to learn Linear Algebra for the first time, but get it if you want a refresher.

| Linear Algebra Demystified by McGraw-Hill Professional Okay, but not as good as the "Dummy Books" collection |
Exactly as stated in the title... should have purchased one of the "Dummy" books. |
