Taking first course in linear algebra

[QUOTE="DuncanM, post: 4509747, member: 25353"] Where are you going to take this first Linear Algebra course (i.e. - what school)? Most first-year Linear Algebra courses are very similar; they all cover the same material. However, if you are enrolled in an upcoming program at a college or university, why not just surf that school's website and find out [I]exactly[/I] what book they use for the course you are planning to take. That way, you are not purchasing [I]two[/I] books for the same material. And by purchasing the book for the course before the course starts, you will get a bit of a head start on the material (assuming you work through some of the problem sets). If you can't find the book listed on the school website, make a few calls to the school. It would be worth your time. If you really want to buy a textbook on your own, regardless of what course you may take, you might consider the textbook used in MIT's OpenCourseware for their Linear Algebra course: "Introduction to Linear Algebra, Fourth Edition" by Gilbert Strang Hope this helps.
