For a great introduction to numerical linear algebra, I cannot recommend enough the book from Trefethen and Bau. Or Golub & Van Loan, if you like pain.

- nextos 6y agoI don't like Strang books that much as I find them a bit verbose, but his latest one is geared towards machine learning and it's pretty good: http://math.mit.edu/%7Egs/learningfromdata/dsla_toc.pdf http://math.mit.edu/%7Egs/learningfromdata/dsla_toc.pdf He covers some numerical linear algebra, and he spends a lot of time on topic modeling and deep learning.
- enriquto 6y ago> I don't like Strang books that much as I find them a bit verbose I'm not sure I agree with you. I remember his elementary calculus book, where he states and proves the fundamental theorem of calculus on the first two pages (including the definition of derivative and the definition of integral). He says something like "this is not a car analogy, this is the real thing and we are already done, the rest of the book is just minor details and examples". I do not know how you can be more concise than this, considering that half of the first page was taken by a cute drawing of a speedometer and an odometer. That you call verbose?
