The mere sight of a yellow and white book cover takes me back to my graduate school days anymore. :-)

Thank you and thank you Springer! You just made my personal day and ruined my office day :-). I'll now spend rest of the day, and perhaps week, drooling over, downloading (and uploading them to my DropBox account) a whole bunch of these :-)

This is great - I've been looking for a good series to have on hand when I want to dive deeper into a math field on an as-needed basis. For example, the Linear Algebra one could be really useful if I decide to get deeper into any Machine Learning stuff - http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4612-1670-4 http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4612-1670-4 It's possible to do things with statistics/ML even without having the greatest grasp on linear algebra, but it sure would help to have a firmer foundation. Thanks!

  Although I have not read that book, for linear algebea I would highly recommend Gilbert Strang's book. It's one of the few textbooks for which I would pay full price, even today. Also, his lectures are available on youtube from MIT, and he's quite good.

    If you read German, his "Lineare Algebra" was published by Springer in 2003: http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-55631-9 http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-55631-9
