a classic for a reason
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2013Gilbert Strang's Linear Algebra and Its Applications gives both an intuitive feel to linear algebra and the geometry that accompanies most linear algebra ideas in two or three dimensions, which can then be generalized to n dimensions. Strang provides a multitude of examples of each idea and a great set of exercises for the reader to try. Each subsection of each chapter is a stand-alone lesson that can help just about any linear algebra student. I really enjoyed this textbook.

A classic, and one can see why.
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2014A classic, and it's easy to see why. One of the few math books that one can learn from simply by reading the book carefully, without an instructor.
The objective is understanding, not rigor. If you prefer theorem, lemma, and proof, this is not the book for you.

Strang is hard to beat on many levels
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2015User friendly, plain spoken, easy to read, careful progression. Details are laid out in plain view. This is clearly a textbook that was written to teach students and not to impress mathematicians.

Excellent Teacher
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2001I had the opportunity to learn linear algebra from Prof. Strang's online video lectures at MIT. This book will be a good comapanion to those lectures.
All of you who hate Linear Algebra should take it from me : Watch the lectures along with the book, you will do no wrong. Strang's insights as he lectures, will make you fall in love with Linear Algebra.

Lacking Theory
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2021This book is very odd in its presentation. I think the main problem is the title: Strang markets this as a linear algebra book when it's more so a book on elementary matrix theory. A book on linear algebra would focus on linear transformations, after all the only reason why we care about matrices is precisely because they represent linear transformations. But Strang hardly talks of linear transformations at all! This is reason enough to not get the book as there is no short supply of linear algebra texts out there.

El producto venía bien protegido y llegó en dos días, recomiendo ampliamente3 out of 5 starsExcelente producto
Reviewed in Mexico on August 27, 2026El libro llegó en excelente estado. Es de uso, pero sí está en buenas condiciones y el embalaje estuvo super bien. Mi problema fue con el servicio de paquetería, el repartidor era grosero, me estuvo apurando para la entrega y llegó a la hora que quiso. No me llevé una buena experiencia de compra.
