    This textbook is aimed at undergraduate math majors and graduate students for a second course in linear algebra. It takes a novel approach by postponing determinants until the end and focusing on understanding linear operators on finite-dimensional vector spaces. The third edition contains over 300 new exercises and examples to illustrate key ideas. New topics include product spaces, quotient spaces, and dual spaces. The book starts with vector spaces and progresses through linear maps, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, inner-product spaces, and generalized eigenvectors to provide insight into the structure of linear operators. Previous editions received praise for their didactic mastery, elegant determinant-free proofs, emphasis on clarity through examples, and quality as both a printed and electronic textbook.

    Linear Algebra Done Right
    Third Edition

    This best-selling textbook for a second course in linear algebra is aimed at undergrad
    math majors and graduate students. The novel approach taken here banishes deter-
    minants to the end of the book. The text focuses on the central goal of linear algebra:
    understanding the structure of linear operators on finite-dimensional vector spaces. The
    author has taken unusual care to motivate concepts and to simplify proofs. A variety
    of interesting exercises in each chapter helps students understand and manipulate the
    objects of linear algebra. Sheldon Axler
    The third edition contains major improvements and revisions throughout the book.

    Linear Algebra
    More than 300 new exercises have been added since the previous edition. Many new
    examples have been added to illustrate the key ideas of linear algebra. New topics cov-
    ered in the book include product spaces, quotient spaces, and dual spaces. Beautiful
    new formatting creates pages with an unusually pleasant appearance in both print and
    electronic versions.
    No prerequisites are assumed other than the usual demand for suitable mathematical

    basis, and dimension. The book then deals with linear maps, eigenvalues, and eigenvec-

    tors. Inner-product spaces are introduced, leading to the finite-dimensional spectral
    theorem and its consequences. Generalized eigenvectors are then used to provide insight
    into the structure of a linear operator.

    From reviews of previous editions:

    … a didactic masterpiece
    —Zentralblatt MATH Third Edition
    … a tour de force in the service of simplicity and clarity … The most original linear
    algebra book to appear in years, it certainly belongs in every undergraduate library.
    —CHOICE

    The determinant-free proofs are elegant and intuitive.


    —American Mathematical Monthly

    Clarity through examples is emphasized … the text is ideal for class exercises … I con-
    gratulate the author and the publisher for a well-produced textbook on linear algebra.
