What are the suitable books in linear algebra for third course for self-study after reading Linear Algebra done right by Axler and Algebra by Artin?

Are you sure that you want a third book on linear algebra? Maybe you just want more advanced stuff on abstract algebra, not necessarily linear.What are the suitable books in linear algebra for third course for self-study after reading Linear Algebra done right by Axler and Algebra by Artin?
Need or want?I need to go deeper in Linear Algebra
You are asking for a book after Artin and Artin has two very nice chapters on Module Theory and Representation theory respectively so this comment doesn't make much sense.I haven't had that knowledge. So I need a general book higher than Axler's book
I need to go deeper in Linear Algebra
... in which case it shouldn't be a problem to answer ...I have finished Axler, and I am reading Artin.I ask the question preparing for the time I finish Artin.
... because ...Why? Are there specific topics that you want to learn about?
... requires specific topics that you call deeper, in order to make specific suggestions.I need to go deeper in Linear Algebra
By read, do you mean working through the exercises without looking at solutions?I have not finished undergraduate in math(self-study).I have just only read Basic Analysis by Peterson Vol 1-3 and Linear Algebra done right by Axler and preparing to read Algebra by Artin.So I haven't been able to solve problem in Greub.Is it good to read Greub after finish Artin?
Thats not how science or math books works. You have to do the exercises...I intent to do exercices after re-reading the books. I like have a general view about mathematics.
This explains why you have posted so many messages struggling with various things. @MidgetDwarf is right.I intent to do exercices after re-reading the books.
Sure, Greub is a good book. But it will not solve your problem. You can read a thousand books and still don't make a progress. Those books you already have are good books, too, and working through them should qualify you to solve most linear algebra problems.So I haven't been able to solve problem in Greub.Is it good to read Greub after finish Artin?
IMO, No. If you work through a chapter in a textbook and skip the exercises, you are wasting your time (and ours, BTW) if you want to be sure you are effectively learning the material. The exercises are a test of your understanding. "Self Learning" does not mean that you get to skip the learning part and just get a general idea of the material.Yes,you are right! And I need every thing must be "demonstrated" .I have spirit "must be convinced by logic".But I want save time not to do exercices at first time.And in short time I have general view about Math.
Is that way OK?
I understand why others criticize you, but I have to tell you that I use similar strategy when I only want to get a big picture in a short time. After getting a big picture, then I can more easily motivate myself to study the details. So if that strategy works for you too (obviously, it doesn't work for everybody), go with it!Yes,you are right! And I need every thing must be "demonstrated" .I have spirit "must be convinced by logic".But I want save time not to do exercices at first time.And in short time I have general view about Math.
