Decent

Used this as a textbook for a first semester course called Linear Algebra and Geometry; does the job, but wouldn't write a song about it. I will give it that the exercises are plentiful, and the examples are great.

a beautiful update on an excellent book

I read Anton back in 1993. loved everything including the very cool application sections.linear algebra is a much harder subject than calculus. it builds strength in abstraction.i think Anton strikes a wonderful balance between elementry and advanced. somethings will need to be read more than once but explanations are well written so you go a little furthet with each effort.i also think the 12th edition does a spectacular job at refreshing the layout. it really is one of the nicest looking math books i have seen and it also somehow helps in the ease of reading.other books i think also stand out include Larson and Gareth Williams. it's quite okay to own a few books on linear algebra. this book should be kept.

Be aware its NOT a bound book

Product was delivered in good shape. Just be awsre this is NOT a bound book. It is a loose leaf version that you need to put into a 3 ring binder.

Hot garbage

Lacks explanation in many topics, especially proofs, leaving a lot of homework problems undoable for first time linear algebra students.

P**T

Terse, and to the point with practice problems that encourage further reading

Each section is terse, it often builds on previous sections which conclude with problems that require using what you have just read and previously practiced. The problems in each section also start with simple calculations and layer concepts as you practice them sequentially.

Poorly revised and misinformed

While I greatly appreciate the textbook is ring-bound, making it much easier for exercises, the book was poorly revised and poorly written. On numerous occasions, the book references sections that do not exist, examples that do not exist, and fails to provide clear reasoning for some of the proofs and computational examples throughout. While it is okay for an extra tool in a class in elementary linear algebra, I would not recommend it in the slightest for being used as a primary learning tool. It needs immense revisions, better-developed questions that don't repeat themselves, and greater emphasis on the author's providing explanation and reasoning for their work throughout.
