Product Description

This third edition of the successful outline in linear algebra--which sold more than 400,000 copies in its past two editions--has been thoroughly updated to increase its applicability to the fields in which linear algebra is now essential: computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, and quantitative analysis. Revised coverage includes new problems relevant to computer science and a revised chapter on linear equations.

Fourth Edition is out, 2008-09-30
The Fourth Edition of this book is out. It should have corrected some typos that I saw in this edition. It's priced about the same, so I suggest you get that one instead. See link below.

When asked to recommend a supplemental linear algebra text, this is always the one, 2008-07-29
Over my career as a college educator, I have occasionally taught linear algebra and have had students ask me if I knew of a resource they could use for additional help and practice. My answer has always been to refer them to this book. Even the most abstract mathematical theory is learned by seeing problems worked through and then doing some of them on your own. As every math teacher knows, mathematics is a participatory sport and participation is defined as being intellectually engaged in following logical reasoning.
The problems in this book start at the very beginning and cover the fundamental principles of linear algebra. If there is a weakness, it is that there is nothing in the way of applications. Linear algebra and matrices forms one of the mathematical foundations of creating moving images via computer and that is one way to quickly pique the interest of the students (and instructors).

Good resource - not up to Schaum Outline standard but good, 2008-07-12
As others have noted there are simple mistakes - I was suprised at the first few early ones I found (addition mistakes, mixing variables). I almost got another book based on other reviews to supplement my course text (Anton's which is pathetic), but overall the Schaum's Outlines have been very good for me and ultimately this one did have enough examples to be helpful.

Not as helpful as many of the other Schaum Outlines but I'm not terribly disappointed as I feared based on other reviews.

Schaum's Outline of Linear Algebra, 2008-06-14
A complex subject presented in the usual Schaum's way-made easy to grasp through correct language and well-explained steps.

Typos, 2008-02-15
There are several typing errors in the solutions to the solved problems in this book, and some are just wrong. There is a version in which most of these problems were fixed, I am relatively sure that this is not the corrected version.
