>>11809900>>11809897Roman's book is for people that have already taken abstract algebra, iirc the book starts off talking about hilbert spaces and touches on functional analysis topics, anyone telling you to read that book as a first exposure to linear algebra is either
1. trolling you
2. read the amazon reviews/heard it recommended and told you to read it without ever doing it themselves
The best linear algebra book that goes over both computation and theory and assumes no prior knowledge is Hoffman and Kunze, it also goes over abstract algebra topics like modules.
