I highly recommend the book "Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction" by David Poole. This book provides clear and concise explanations of abstract concepts such as vector spaces, matrices, and linear transformations. It also offers a variety of exercises and examples that help students understand the material better. Additionally, the book includes real-world applications of linear algebra, making it a valuable resource for both theoretical and applied learning. I have personally used this book in my own research and have found it to be an excellent reference for understanding and applying linear algebra concepts. I believe it would be a great choice for anyone looking for a comprehensive and practical guide to linear algebra.
