SUMMARY

I.N. Herstein co-authored the book "Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra" with Winters, which has garnered little attention and lacks available reviews. The discussion highlights the absence of comparative analysis with established linear algebra texts such as "Linear Algebra" by Hoffman & Kunze. Participants express curiosity about the book's content and its standing in the field of linear algebra, particularly in academic settings.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with linear algebra concepts
  • Understanding of matrix theory fundamentals
  • Knowledge of notable linear algebra texts, specifically "Linear Algebra" by Hoffman & Kunze
  • Access to academic resources for book reviews and comparisons
NEXT STEPS
  • Research reviews and analyses of "Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra" by I.N. Herstein and Winters
  • Compare the content and approach of Herstein's book with "Linear Algebra" by Hoffman & Kunze
  • Explore other linear algebra resources and textbooks for comprehensive understanding
  • Investigate academic forums or libraries for potential access to the book
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and researchers in mathematics, particularly those focused on linear algebra and matrix theory, will benefit from this discussion.

I was surprised to recently discover that I.N.Herstein (author of 'Topics in Algebra' amongst others) wrote a book on linear algebra entitled ''Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra'' with a chap called Winters. I can't find any reviews of this book anywhere. I wanted to know if anyone has read the book and what do they think of it? How does it compare to books like Hoffman & Kunze and other good linear algebra books? There isn't a copy in my university's library, btw.

I guess then, that no-one here has read the book?
