A Polynomial Approach to Linear Algebra

From the reviews of the second edition:

“This interesting and unusual text shows that the connections between linear algebra and polynomials go far deeper than this. … This is certainly a linear algebra text with a distinct personality all its own. … it can be used with profit by people interested in the special topics at the end … or by good students in a graduate linear algebra course with a solid background in abstract algebra who are interested in learning the material in a rather nonstandard way.” (Mark Hunacek, The Mathematical Association of America, May, 2012)
