Dear all, Can someone please recommend a english version of a linear algebra book. "Lineare algebra, Siegfried Bosch" I don't speak German so I cannot understand the chapters. If someone can help to identify a book with similar chapters that will be very helpful.

There are lots of Linear Algebra books in English. Why the interest in a book written in German?

I guess you'll need to start learning German, then. I wouldn't think the lecturers at Leipzig U. hold their classes in English, nor is it a given that all German texts are offered in translation.
 
The course is taught in Englisch for your info! I am just baffled as to why german books are prescribed. Anyway, please help if you can!
