Linear Algebra for Everyone

From the reviews:

“The author’s intention was to write an introductory linear algebra text for students studying disciplines that use this subject matter as a tool. … All topics introduced are given a concrete basis in reality by use of well-chosen examples. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates.” (D. S. Larson, Choice, Vol. 49 (2), October, 2011)

“This is a conventional introduction to matrices that the author has attempted to make more accessible by garnishing it with palindromes, jokes, and aphorisms. It is a translation of the 2007 Italian-language work Algebra Lineare per tutti … . The translation is smooth and easy to read … . The book takes a very concrete approach. … the work is in fact aimed at linear algebra students … .” (Allen Stenger, The Mathematical Association of America, June, 2011)
