Book Reviews of Linear Algebra (Cliffs Quick Review)

Book Review: Excellent and reasonably comprehensive introduction to basic linear algebra for the self-motivated student.
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is an excellent introduction or review of linear algebra. It presents the most important aspects of basic linear algebra quickly, concisely, and accurately. It begins with concepts from vector and matrix algebra and continues through 318 pages to end with Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors. It presents a concept, e.g., linear independence, and then provides at least one example illustrating the concept. After a short discussion of each new concept, a fully-worked example is provided. Pages frequently appear with multiple examples.

There are no exercises with answers for the student to check their comprehension. You can instead use the examples as exercises, which works quite well since the examples are fully worked out. However, you must bring your own motivation to this Quick Review. Although the work is over 300 pages it presents "just the facts" and spends essentially no time building motivation or interest. Highly recommended, but only for the self-motivated reader.
