Is this a good book for applied linear algebra?

I think that's the book I had for my class. It's fine.

yeah it's fine, pretty generic but it has good examples for applications

Dude just watch a couple 3blue1brown videos. What’s so hard about linear algebra, i-hat j-hat, lines stay straight, stretchy stretchy, flipperoo. Simple as

That's the book we used for my class and that Linear course was probably my second favorite math course I've ever done only after complex analysis 1.

We used this book, for computational purposes and a very dumbed down intro to some applied/numerical concepts its adequate. For actual understanding its horrible and the exercises will not supplement the deficiencies of the main body text. They omit proofs of fairly important results regularly and don’t explain the operator:matrix isomorphism well at all.

i got spoiled by 3blue1brown's fancy visuals n sheeeit. really once it got to stuff like the pivot points in the book i felt like it wasnt as pretty.

Ironic that you didn't learn to do prove a single theorem or compute anything from watching his videos. But, surely you did receive magical intuition from his low effort arrow-vector animations r-right desu?

Pivot points are first mentioned literally 10 pages in.

Those first 9 pages were so pretty, though

No its about intuition. When your calculating the transformation you rarely get a sense of the geometric mechanics happening with each linear operation he makes it more intuitive.

Someone recommended to me Gilbert Strang's book, but I couldn't afford it because I'm a poorfag.

>geometric mechanics
in other words you're an idiot. you wouldn't need his videos (although I do enjoy them) if retarded teachers actually taught students linear transformations as opposed to 'oh look at this cool matrix and these rules for manipulating them lol.'
