Linear Algebra and Its Applications (3rd Edition)

44 reviews
David C. Lay

Addison Wesley, 2002

Incredibly Accessible
I used this book to teach myself linear algebra using a lesson plan developed by a teacher. A few things I found really helpful: Lay constantly admonishes the reader to carefully study the text, by reading and re-reading. He understands that students learning linear algebra are likely to to be embarking on more abstract/advanced mathematics in the future--and he cares enough to teach good ...

Linear Algebra with Applications (4th Edition)

Otto Bretscher

Prentice Hall, 2008

This book is fantastic for an introduction to linear algebra
Because I couldn't fit linear algebra in my undergrad curriculum I decided to learn it on my own. After glancing through as many books as I could I went with this one. It was a great decision. Concepts in this book are explained in great detail and are not difficult to follow. The few proofs that were omitted are left as exercises and aren't too difficult to figure out. I highly recommend this ...

cheaper than at school
I haven't read much of the book yet, but I have heard good things from classmates and instructors who have read it.

Linear Systems and Signals (The Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering)

16 reviews
B. P. Lathi

Oxford University Press, USA, 2004

Math and Signals are truly One after this book
This book has it all: logic, concepts, math, many examples, practical applications, even little historical notes and matlab sections. It's just a very accurate, neat, and well organized book. The guy actually exlains "why". He explains not only how to DO Laplace, Fourier, etc but how to UDERSTAND it. And he is very accurate with what and how he is saying. I bought this book for my undergrad ...

Bayesian Computation with R (Use R)

5 reviews
Jim Albert

Springer, 2008

more practicality added to Bayesian inference
Jim Albert is a great teacher and an excellent writer. The R language is becoming one of the most used languages by statistical researchers. This is because it has many similarities to S and can be used freely, Jim makes R easy to learn for statisticians in this book. One of the big breakthroughs in Bayesian statistics over the past 2 decades was the implementation of complicated priors and ...

Elementary Linear Algebra

Howard Anton

Wiley, 2004

clear exposition of ideas
Anton gives a skilled exposition of a first course in linear algebra. The concept of a vector space is developed. From which the ideas of vectors and matrices naturally flow, where the latter map from one vector space to another. There is a nice stress on the student grasping a geometric picture. This helps her develop a qualitative understanding of the concepts. Standard results, like the ...

Introduction to Linear Algebra, Third Edition

Gilbert Strang

Wellesley Cambridge Pr, 2003

The engineer's classic.
People say that mathematical truths never change, and that's true enough. New concepts, applications, and techniques keep emerging, though, so math teaching needs to keep up with the times. Strang has done an outstanding job of keeping this book current and relevant. It's not a mathematician's math book - this is aimed at people who need results and needs computational techniques more than ...

The book arrived in a timely manner and the condition was just as described. Very satisfied!

Anthology Of Classical Myth: Primary Sources in Translation : with Additional Translations by Other Scholars ...

3 reviews

Hackett Publishing Company, 2004

A Must Have for Myth-Focused Folks!
Finally! There has been such need for a work like this and the editors/translators have done a fine job indeed. I teach live, online courses on mythology at The Lukeion Project and this year I will be developing a way to make this a required purchase for the fall 2008 session. Everything I need to teach a high quality course in mythology is availabe here (with the addition of my favorite ...

The Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits

11 reviews
Roland E. Thomas, Albert J. Rosa, ...

Wiley, 2006

Fantastic practical introduction with emphasis on calculations
Chapter 1 introduces basic concepts in electricity such as charge, voltage, current, resistance and Ohms law. Chapter 2 then delves into basic DC circuit analysis of series and parallel circuits using KVL and KCL and the concepts of source transformation and circuit reduction. Chapter 3 gives you more techniques to solve for difficult circuit analysis problems based on node and mesh ...

Linear Algebra Done Right

40 reviews
Sheldon Axler

Springer, 2004

Great text
This was a required book for an undergraduate 3rd year Linear Algebra course for Math majors. I am finding it very relevant and interesting. Most books and courses are geared only for matrices. This book explains most of the concepts without matrices and then introduces determinants, eigenvalues, etc. I found it very interesting and helpful.

Connecting Chords with Linear Harmony

Hal Leonard Corporation, 1996

One of the most FUNCTIONAL books on Improv EVER written !
This isn't going to sound like a very intelligent and well thought out review, but if you're a professional musician and have had this experience you'll appreciate it: I don't remember too much about this book, other than that after I worked through most of it I went from not really being able to solo to being able to solo... The specific text from the book is gone from my mind... but the ...

The classic text on Hierarchical Linear Modeling
This is a must-have book for anyone who is serious about understanding multilevel/hierarchical linear modeling.

Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction (with CD-ROM)

David Poole

Brooks Cole, 2005

Excellent book for beginners in linear algebra
I'm going to make this simple: This book saved me! I'we been studying linear algebra past semister, and the book the teacher assigned to us really wasn't explaining things well enough. I got this book one week before the final exam, and I can surely say that it is the only reason why I passed this class! The book is very well written, and the author always seems to be ahead of your head, ...

Regression Methods in Biostatistics: Linear, Logistic, Survival, and Repeated Measures Models (Statistics for ...

5 reviews
Eric Vittinghoff, David V. Glidden, ...

Springer, 2007

very good book, compact but comprehensive
This book covers a wide range of topics in Biostatistics, in a comprehensive, but not overwhelming way. In my opinion this book has the potential of being useful to a broad audience, from Statisticians to other professionals who do health related research.

Linear Algebra

15 reviews
Georgi E. Shilov

Dover Publications, 1977

a great classic treatment of a fundamental subject
I am choosing this book for my course on advanced linear algebra. This means nowadays a beginning course that covers all the bases, but that includes also some theory and proofs, and continues to the jordan form and spectral theorems. I considered Axler, Lang, Hoffman Kunze, Halmos, and notes by Sharipov on the internet. All these have their good points, but Shilov has it all: superbly ...

Elementary Linear Algebra with Applications (9th Edition)

2 reviews
Bernard Kolman, David Hill

Prentice Hall, 2007

Ideal Introduction to the Subject
There are some fairly justified complaints about Kolman's text. Some claim that it is too computational to be of any use to a budding mathematician, and others, that its expository is insufficient to be of use for those in other fields. There are a number of purely computational excersices, but there is no shortage of mathematical rigor in this text. All of the essential theorems are properly ...

Applied Linear Statistical Models

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2004

Outstanding Non-Theoretic Linear Models Book, HUGE
Second year Ph.D. student in Statistics at Iowa State University I can't think of a single better non-theoretic linear models book. You need to have at least one semester of undergraduate statistics under your belt to follow this book, but it's useful and readable for everyone else. Undergraduates, graduates, professionals...whoever. Given its non-theoretic approach and extremely clear ...

Thanks!
Thank you for sending the book. It was in very good condition, like you promised and I received the book much earlier than I originally had thought.
