Matrices and Linear Transformations: Second Edition

Me parece muy bueno para quien ya tiene una noción preliminar sobre el tema, pues presenta demostraciones de teoremas que se utilizan comunmente en esa disciplina que pueden interesar a quien busque profundizar más en ello.

Rigore non vuol dire cripticità.Inoltre manca la minima motivazione per cui vengono introdotti determinati concetti e la loro utilità nell'algebra lineare. E' come studiare l'italiano dal dizionario. Megliohttps://www.amazon.it/Geometria-Marco-Abate/dp/8838607222/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494597335&sr=8-1&keywords=geometria+abate(che tuttavia pecca di questo in alcuni capitoli, ma comunque risulta di gran lunga più leggibile)

線型代数は内容が大きいので、叙述がごたごたしてポイントがわかりずらくなりがちだが、この本は見通しがたいへんよい。行列式について手短に済ませてあるのもよい。松坂和夫をスマートにした感じだろうか。復習に使ったが正解だった。問題も多数。

I tend to evaluate books to a large extent on whether they're suited to self-study or useful as a supplement. (If you have a course with a required text, you'll have to get it, and reviews won't matter much.) Cullen's book is definitely useful for self-study ... with some caveats.The book is very comprehensive. The author says it's intended for a one-semester course but then qualifies that; the whole book would take two semesters at most universities. The book is also very rigorous. This is great, depending on what you're looking for. If you want no-compromise, thorough learning, you'll get it, but you'll have to work for it. I mean serious work.The book says it has little in the way of prerequisites. That's true in a strict sense, but in fact I think to use this book you need a certain amount of mathematical sophistication. A basic "proofs" book might be a good companion or even a prior study. The author doesn't hold back on formalism and use of notation, and some level of comfort with this is necessary.That doesn't mean the book is overly academic, obscure, or unclear. It's none of those things. But what it does is demand a lot on the part of the student. You absolutely must take the time to learn everything as it's presented. There isn't much in the way of repetition and second chances, although there are detailed examples which are quite helpful. Working the problems (there are a few solutions given) is also essential, and I'd use one of those Schaum books (or similar) to supplement the problems and examples.The exacting rigor at times obscures practical application; the presentation of determinants, for instance, is not at all what I'm used to--- but that said, it gave me a different and greater level of understanding.If you're looking to study more advanced, abstract math, the first five chapters are crucial and you might want to look at the seventh chapter and maybe some other material. The author gives good suggestions in the introduction.This, of course, is an older book, but it remains very relevant. You can certainly use it for self-study if you use a supplement or two and if you're willing to put in the effort. If you want a light and happy overview that doesn't demand intellectual effort, look elsewhere. If you really want to master the material, consider this book. It isn't a classic text for nothing.

A good book, and there are not any damaged.
