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 (e.g. practice problems, exams, development of textbook examples), plus codes in MATLAB, Julia, and Python.

I’ve been trying to get a grasp of Linear Algebra to get into coding and I thought I was on top of it after going through the 3 Blue 1 Brown series of lectures on YouTube. Then I started following Gilbert Strang’s MIT lectures online and doing the quizzes in this book. Oh boy was I wrong! Gilbert paints with a very broad brush on the topic and then presents a series of problems that are impossible to wrap your head around. Worse still the answers available online are just that - answers with no explanation on how he arrived to them. Only get this book if you are completing a university degree and have a background in mathematics. Do not buy it if you are a working stiff doing it to try and get ahead on the train in the morning, you will be wasting your money.
