While not explicitly mentioned in the introduction I think it's safe to say that the books title is a play off of the popular title "Linear algebra done right"

While not explicitly mentioned in the introduction I think it's safe to say that the books title is a play off of the popular title "Linear algebra done right" http://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Right-Sheldon-Axler/dp/0387982582/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260994052&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Right-Sheldon-Axler/dp/... Which is a pretty amazing text if you're delving in to the algebra side of linear algebra. Though I suspect significantly less useful than "Linear algebra done wrong".
