Linear Algebra With Applications 8th Edition

this book is easy to understand. good examples and written clear enough for high schoolers to comprehend. i had alot of trouble understanding the class lecture and thought it was going to be a rough semester, but after going home and studying the book itself, discovered professor made the material more difficult than it really was.

The textbook is really informative. It provides plenty of examples of relevant applications to the material, but there are insufficient answers in the answer key and even the solutions manual doesn't remedy the problem entirely.

This book was used in my undergraduate linear algebra course. The books was a good introduction to the topic.

The spine was detached from the pages but it was easy to fix with some super glue. Other than that, the condition was as expected

Leon is a thorough professor, but the publishers should do a better job with using more ergonomic formatting and better typeface.

I bought this book for my Applied Linear Algebra class; it has so far proven to be quite useful, containing good and relevant information about matrices. Item arrived in more than good condition, with about the amount of wear and tear I would expect in a new book. Overall, a very satisfactory transaction and a good book.

I am still using this book, even after I finish my coursework (bought it for a Linear Algebra course). I have found the material in it to be easily referenced and well-grouped. Probably one of the better mathematics books to learn from that I have ever read.I have 3 other Linear Algebra books and none of them are as well-designed as this one.

This is an absolutely terrible text book. Buy it only if you have homework assignments that come from it. Rent it if possible.Here are the issues I have with this book.1. Many of the symbols used are not clear defined in the text (many are never defined).2. The link between homework problems and what is presented in the preceding chapter is often difficult to understand.3. The theorems, proofs, and definitions are NOT clearly written so that a beginner student can understand.*4. Many of the most important theorems are presented as a !@#$ing HOMEWORK PROBLEM instead of being explained in the chapter!Note to the publisher on number 4: Are you serious? How do you expect people to understand an important concept from A TEXTBOOK when you don't explain it?I used two work around to escape the worthlessness that is this text book.1. A second text book - Elementary Linear Algebra: Applications Version, Tenth Edition by Howard Anton and Chris Rorres ISBN 978-0-470-45821-1. This a good book on linear algebra. It clearly explains concepts and defines symbols.2. Use Chegg.com for the solutions manual, I learned/remembered more going through that than anything presented in this text book.*NOTE: I have a degree in Computer Engineering and I was required to use this text to a "refresher class" for a Masters program. I would NOT consider my self a beginner student in most mathematics classes.

Great
