Review

"This robust text is well worth an evaluation for anyone interested in teaching such topics. If this book or a subset of its content were used, students would undoubtedly benefit from the tutelage it offers." (SIAM Review, Vol 50, Issue 4, 2008)

"The author's presentation in excellent, providing motivation to the student throughout...an excellent, extremely readable introduction to computational linear algebra..." (MAA Reviews, December 28, 2005)
