Good linear algebra book recommendation

[missfangula]

Hello everyone,

I am looking to teach myself linear algebra this summer, but I can't find a good book.
Any recommendations?

I like Axler the best. There are lots of similar threads in the science book forum. I sugggest you search there if you want to see other recommendations.

One of my professors recommended "The Linear Algebra a Beginning Graduate Student Ought to Know" by Jonathan Golan. I am currently working through it right now, and I am enjoying it thoroughly, as it is a little more involved than the textbook I had for my undergraduate linear algebra course (the only one I've had the opportunity to take so far).

If you want a rigorous treatment of the subject, use this book:

I'm self-studying using Linear Algebra by Strang, and I'd recommend it for anyone who is learning linear algebra for the first time.

I second the suggestion above.

But if you want a little less rigorous introduction (but still good), try Jim Hefferon's book
