Elementary linear algebra book

Question

I read and enjoy Spivak calculus book; I was wondering if there is a similar book (in terms of problems, rigor, etc) for elementary linear algebra?

@Gerry Yeah... Hoffman (MIT) and Kunze. Although it's written for Math majors, the author considered audiences from other disciplines, as we can read in the Preface. — Lex Soft, Jul 08 '22 at 06:24

Try Peter Petersen's Linear Algebra. It's a relatively new book that goes into linear differential equations as an application too.
