Is this the LA version of "Calculus made easy"? Because I love that one.
I hope I am not getting downvoted to hell but I always thought Strang was overhyped. I watched his lectures and bought his book and I never felt this is the most accessible way of teaching LA. At least not in the way, people hyped it up to be.
I much prefer Jim Hefferon's LA book for example. No hate towards Strang but I always felt so dumb when I watched or read his stuff after people were raving about it.
- iamcreasy 6y agoI've felt similarly when reading Strang's book. It takes a lot of effort on my part to understand what he is trying to say but once I get it - it feels obvious. And I think a lot of linear algebra is like this since there are many different ways to say the same thing and it can get confusing if someone is not holding your hand. I wish I had a recommendation for you.
