Linear Algebra Done Right

The book was a gift for my son who wanted this particular book. I'm giving it a good review because he knew what it was and wanted it, so it must be good.

Excellent ouvrage Indispensable pour étudiants en maths

Quality is good and material is also helpful

Very thorough and understandable. Best linear algebra book I ever had

As someone who has taugh univesity-level physics for the last twelve years and have spent another ten years with undergraduate and graduate studies, I can confidently say that no other book, either in physics or mathematics, has excited me as much as this one in recent years. I picked up this book to refresh my knowledge on Linear Algebra while preparing a course on Quantum Mechanics, and I felt that it is pure joy! It became one of my favorite books. The reason is that this book is formal, cristal clear, logical and abstract. Many widely used Linear Algebra textbooks today seem to fail in at least one of these aspects. There is always an oversimplification that teaches pieces or processes and not the whole. While many of these books reduce Linear Algebra to a collection of procedures with lists, matrices and specific techniques such as orthogonalizations, diagonalizations, reductions, etc, Mr. Axler was definitely successfull in showing what Linear Algebra is about - linear spaces and operators - and how to properly and elegantly teach it. Last but not least, hats off to the author and Springer for making this book open access. And for those considering buying the physical copy, definitely do it if you can afford it. A PDF file will never give you the feeling of a friend the way a physical book does.
