Q)Different eigenvectors corresponding to an eigenvalue of a matrix must be linearly dependent? Is the above statement true or false.Give reasons.

i have friedberg's linear algebra a matrix approach.That is not the one you meant!:cry:

So which book would contain the majority of the topics?( refer the previous post)

There are a total of 15 chapters 1)Sets functions and fields 2)Two and three dimensional spaces 3)Vector spaces 4)Basis and dimension 5)Linear transformation -I 6)Linear transformation -II 7)Matrices-I 8)Matrices-II 9)Determinants 10)Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors 11) Characteristic...

I will post the chapters covered in my course...

i have 1)jim hefferon's ebook 2)glibert strang's book 3)Howard anton's ebook 4)Larson's ebook 5)Friedberg's ebook Where do i start? i want to read the study material given by my college and also supplement that with a textbook

I have enrolled for a distance learning progaramme from IGNOU(big mistake!).There is a paper on linear algebra.The university gives a study material which i find boring. i recently bought Gilbert Strang's linear algebra book. Any other good sources online?

i have ordered introduction to linear algebra by gilbert strang.But i saw it on google books and found it to be touching only the basics.Can anyone recommend anymore books?
