I already have some familiarity with LA and proofs, would this book be the ideal read for me right now or is there something better?
>>16808946I like linear algebra done right
>>16809368That's a meme.
>>16808946Yes. I used it in grad school.
>>16809375Grad? Isn’t that an undergrad book?
>>16809511Anyone who isn't a physics or math student takes every post calculus math course as a grad student. Doctors, the guys you pay to keep you alive, take high school level statistics in med school. These niggas pass organic chem when they are 19 but can't be bothered to learn what a p value is until they already have a degree.
Trump never fired anyone other than the literal vp positions. Because he can't. Stop listening to crying leftists.

>>16809511> Isn’t that an undergrad book?Look at the preface. It literally calls itself an "early graduate or upper undergraduate text." It's right at home in the first semester or two of grad school, especially if you cover the later material in the book which is usually ignored in undergraduate courses.
>>16809670Shut the fuck up
>>16808946I had some workbook thing with tear-out pages. It was like a Big Chief Notebook for linear algebra. I was drunk a lot in the class too.
>>16809771You can be mad, but it's the truth. The two most common books for a first semester graduate linear algebra book are Hoffman & Kunze and Roman. Roman is definitely more advanced than Hoffman & Kunze, but Hoffman & Kunze is used all over the place in master's programs.
>>16810031Lmao imagine remembering the name and dates of your linear algebra book and not how to do linear algebra. It isn't exactly hard bro.
>>16810074Have you actually looked at any grad level linear algebra? Roman's textbook "Advanced Linear Algebra" is published in Springer's "graduate texts in mathematics" series for a reason. It's not all just row-reduction and diagonalization like in your undergraduate course.
>>16809368it tries too hard to be both an advanced ugrad/early grad book and babby's first proof-based math book at the same time and ends up being weaksauce for both audiences.really, i blame the k-12 system for not introducing more rigor in their math early on.>>16809532>pass ochemmeme course>p-valuememe conceptywnbaw.
>>16810078Please elaborate how linear algebra isn't how I leaned it as an idiot undergrad. Im sure it's mystical but all I remember is eigenvectors.
>>16810095NTA, but back in the 90s when I started working for an intelligence gathering arm of the state department, we honestly use a variety of matrix decomposition techniques in designing media propaganda campaigns in foreign countries.Last place I thought I'd use singular values.
>>16810095If you didn't study the dual space or double dual, you didn't study linear algebra.
>advanced algebra I studied algebra in middle school
>>16810224Everyone learns dual spaces during undergrad.
