I''m looking for a good linear algebra book. I heard that "Elementary Linear Algebra" by Howard Anton is good. Anybody know about this book? Anybody know of any other good books? Thanks, Bino

He''s written a number of LA books, my college class used one of his.

It''s heavy on theory, but I think it has a chapter or two on applications.

A Good 3D Computer Graphics book, with a matrix primer might do you more good...

I have that book.
I like it... Or at least i''ve seen a lot worse books

If you can get it at a fair price, I say go for it.

Hi Bino

You might try Schaums''s Outline Linear Algebra 2nd Edition by
Seymour Lipschutz which is published by Mcgraw Hill. Its basically a college level course series for independent studies.
There are other Schuam math series that focus on more specific topics. The book cost around $14 its a paper back. You can probably find it at your local bookstore or an online store like Amazon.com.

Table of Contents

Chap 1 System of Linear Equations
Chap 2 Vectors in Rn(R to nth power) And Cn(C to the nth power), Spatial Vectors
Chap 3 Matrices
Chap 4 Square Matrices, Elementary Matrices
Chap 5 Vector Spaces
Chap 6 Inner Product Spaces, Orthogonality
Chap 7 Determinants
Chap 8 Eigenvalues And Eigenvectors, Diagonlization
Chap 9 Linear Mappings
Chap 10 Matrices And Linear Mappings
Chap 11 Canonical Forms
Chap 12 Linear Functions And The Dual Space
Chap 13 Bilinear, Quadractic, And Hermitian Forms
Chap 14 Linear Operators On Inner Product
Appendix Polynomials Over A Field

I have the book. It looks like a good book to use as a refference in learning about vectors and matrices.
