Linear Algebra Done Right by Sheldon Axler for the following reasons:
- I was revisiting a topic in greater depth, which is a common theme in university-level math courses.
- It is a rigorous book, written in the style of definition, proposition, theorem, etc.
- It was the first math book where the exercises don't just reinforce what you learned in the chapter, but teach you new material (another common theme in advanced math textbooks).
- Linear Algebra is arguably the most important math subject these days.
- mohamez 4y agoLinear Algebra Done Right by Sheldon Axler is indeed a good book if you are looking for a rigorous proof based book to learn linear algebra. Here [1] you can find Sheldon Axler himself explaining the topics of the book in his YouTube channel! How wonderful is that! Here [2] you can find the solutions to the exercises in the book. This [3] Lectures might help as well, among the books this course follow is Algebra Done Right. Good luck learning the subject of Linear Algebra you'll have fun doing so.

- sgdpk 4y agoI have to second this. It's very well written and presents a clear view of what Linear Algebra is. Although it might be best used as a second book in Linear Algebra (depending on your preparation).
