SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommended textbooks for a linear algebra syllabus, particularly for non-English speakers. Key suggestions include "Linear Algebra" by David Lay and Anton, and "Linear Algebra and Its Applications, 4th Edition" by Gilbert Strang, which is praised for its comprehensive approach. The user expresses a need for detailed theory on topics such as linear equation systems, matrices, and lines and planes in space. Additionally, "Schaum's Outline of Linear Algebra" is recommended for revision purposes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of linear equation systems
  • Familiarity with matrix operations and properties
  • Knowledge of vector spaces and linear independence
  • Basic concepts of linear transformations and their applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Linear Algebra and Its Applications, 4th Edition" by Gilbert Strang
  • Explore "Schaum's Outline of Linear Algebra" for revision techniques

Good choice of books for my linear algebra syllabus



Hello guys, I am looking for some good books for linear algebra.
I have got Linear algebra by, David Lay and Anton .
However I am studying Linear algebra in another language than English
and our syllabus is a bit different from many English speaking countries.
I feel like I want a more thorough and more detailed theory on the following subjects

Especially when it comes to lines and planes in space.

I have heard that goodaire is a good book too, but perhaps you guys can give me some good suggestions for books which suit respective subject
I would like to have a suggestion for good books which suit my syllabus

1. Linear Equation systems
2. Matrices
3. Transpose, Matrix Inverses
4. Vectors, Basis, and coordinates
5. Linear combination of vectors, Linear independent vectors. Change of Basis
6. Scalar products, Orthonormal basis
7. Areas, vektor products,volumes and determinants
8. Lines and Plane in Space
9. Linear imaging/depictions. It's definition and properties
10. Compostions / Combinations and Inverses.
Kernel (linear operator) and Range
11.Matrix productions in different basis. Isometric Images/depections
12. Diagonalization of linear images.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Lay is a good book. Get the latest edition.

Linear Algebra and Its Applications 4th Edition by Gilbert Strang. Also check his video lectures online available for free.

And for revision: Schaum's outline of linear algebra.
