Axler's book is great, but for my immediate purposes, it isn't suitable. I've been looking at the Table of Contents of Linear Algebra Done Wrong by Treil starting at p. 5 of this document but there's only one disadvantage to it: I hate learning from reading .pdfs online, and I'd rather not print the entire thing.

Are there books out there (that are published) that have a similar coverage to Linear Algebra Done Wrong? There aren't specific topics that I'm looking for in this book - I need all of them, essentially (there could be more of a discussion on generalized inverses and pseudoinverses, though).

  • Treil's book covers pretty standard topics for an upper division undergrad book from what I can tell of the TOC (well, the last chapter or two cover topics that are often saved until a grad course). So any book at that level should do. Why exactly does Axler's book not suit your purpose? –  Jan 17 '16 at 03:32
  • @Bye_World I'm in a statistics program, and we do a lot of work with matrices (decompositions, determinants, and the like). From what I recall of Axler, little (if any) coverage is done on this. – Clarinetist Jan 17 '16 at 03:38
  • Check out Searle's Matrix Algebra Useful for Statistics and see if it's what you're looking for. Edit: Actually any of the books mentioned here might work for you. –  Jan 17 '16 at 03:47
  • @Bye_World Thank you! I can't believe I didn't see that question before. – Clarinetist Jan 17 '16 at 03:51

No need to compromise: the Creative Commons license permits printing. There are many print-on-demand companies that can produce a single copy for you at a very reasonable price.
