Linear algebra is something all mathematics undergraduates and many other students, in subjects ranging from engineering to economics, have to learn. The fifth edition of this hugely successful textbook retains all the qualities of earlier editions, while at the same time seeing numerous minor improvements and major additions. The latter include: • A new chapter on singular values and singular vectors, including ways to analyze a matrix of data • A revised chapter on computing in linear algebra, with professional-level algorithms and code that can be downloaded for a variety of languages • A new section on linear algebra and cryptography • A new chapter on linear algebra in probability and statistics. A dedicated and active website also offers solutions to exercises as well as new exercises from many different sources (including practice problems, exams, and development of textbook examples), plus codes in MATLAB®, Julia, and Python. Review: Excellent service - Book turned up on time in excellent condition Review: Although accessible everywhere, but still good to get one - You may have heard or found related resources about this book many times before, so do I. But it does help me a lot as I have been stuck in many technical details on machine learning in depth, as I don't fully understand related linear algebra concepts. Besides, this hardcopy one is really good to read.

Although accessible everywhere, but still good to get one
You may have heard or found related resources about this book many times before, so do I. But it does help me a lot as I have been stuck in many technical details on machine learning in depth, as I don't fully understand related linear algebra concepts. Besides, this hardcopy one is really good to read.

Great textbook!
A must read for everyone who has interest in math and math applications. Great writing , self-explanatory, with hundreds of examples and exercises and well written solutions provided online. Would recommend!

Helpful to appreciate the power of linear algebra
I appreciate the development within the book but sometimes I find the steps are too much for me at 94. However I am coping with it and find the process demanding and satisfying.

Very good!
I Nearly finish reading this book and all exercises. Though this process is time consuming, it is worth the money and time.

great.
I'm not a mathematician (computer programmer getting into machine learning) and this book (+ the excellent videos via MIT) do a better job of making this subject understandable than any other I've come across.

Kindle edition completely botched
In the sample, all formulas are missing. The full version is just a PDF of the original text without even a TOC, and you cannot add annotations or highlighting - a disaster for a text book. Worst Kindle adoption I have ever seen!

Best Source for Linear Algebra
This is one of the best books I have started reading for Linear Algebra. Cause I am starting an M.Sc. in AI study I have searched for a comprehensive and clear introduction to Linear Algebra. Starting looking plenty of Mr. Gilbert Strangs video lessons 18.06 finally I found the best source to remember and improve the understanding of this very important field. In addition, I bought this new version of his LA books and I didn't regret it. One thing I have to mention for all of the people who are interesting to buy this book, too, is to see some of his lessons if you like the teaching style he is using, cause the book uses the same style and sometimes some things are not so clear when you read them first. But if you like it, I believe that this is the best source for Linear Algebra some can get. Conclusion: If you see all the lectures at 18.06 and read this book, you don't need any other sources to get a comprehensive understanding in Linear Algebra.

Great book to learn linear algebra, especially for ML
Book covers everything from basics you learn in 11th and 12th to bachelor's, especially for machine learning. Might look a bit expensive but worth every penny. It has hardcover and very thick pages with great binding.
