look at this

I'm looking.

what about it

Is that book not just a meme, but actually good?
I scraped by Linear Algebra this semester, and am pissed at myself. Over break want to read up on Linear Algebra.

>I scraped by Linear Algebra this semester

What kind of linear algebra?

FUCK

What does your anons linear algebra course cover up to?
At the the end of LA this semester we covered representations of quivers as well as quadratic forms on graphs with of course the standard operator theory material for Hernitian and Euclidean spaces.

My school's second year maths is a 2 semester sequence in which you learn calc 3, diff eq and Linear algebra basically through Jordan canonical forms. There are, however, high level LA courses but I don't know if I plan to take them since scheduling is tight with a double major.

I'm also curious about the book, I have it, just haven't read much of it. Is it a good read?

>>8538061
It's actually good. Specially if you are getting into proofs.

Never touched the book in the OP, my professor has his own unpublished book that was a nice read

>linear algebra
>conics on the cover
Fucking Dover

I'll try it

>>8538324
Are conics ever relevant?
Intersection of two surfaces sounds like LA, but I suppose a cone would be unavoidably non-linear?

>>8538024
Why does linear algebra book have light cones on its front page? Is it the algebra of Minkowiski space?

>>8538824
Should have googled first.

NOW PUT SOME RESPEC ON IT

>>8538024
net that I just found

>>8538833
That is a pretty small application considering the broad aspects related to linear algebra.

Could LA determine the intersection points on the cover?
If not, that's a really poor choice of cover.
