Dear sci.math,

What is a good reintroductory book on /linear algebra/. I used to
use some book as an undergraduate math major, with programming examples
in Matlab. Since I plan to just use GNU Octave[1], that'll be fine.

I have DVDs for /The Great Courses/' /Mastering Linear Algebra/ on the
way, and am looking for a math major relevant textbook to accompany the
course.

I have /Advanced Linear Algebra/ on my shelf, but it's for graduates,
and doesn't seem to have any reintroductory material for the basics at
all.

Please do not recommend any LLM, not even one that's only been trained
on /linear algebra/ textbooks.

Thank you.

For a rigorous introduction try Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right. https://linear.axler.net/

Thank you. Are there any other books with examples in Matlab or GNU
Octave that I can also add to my curriculum?

No such examples, but I liked

Fundamentals of Linear Algebra and Optimization
CIS515

(PDF files in the Web).

Here's what the chatbot reported. Might contain hallucinations,
so each book still needs to be checked!

| Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications: Using MATLAB and Octave
|
| Written by William Ford, this book is designed specifically around
| both software packages. It covers modern computational techniques,
| matrix factorizations, and algorithm analysis for solving real-world
| numerical linear algebra problems.
|
| Linear Algebra I with MATLAB
|
| A foundational textbook that explicitly pairs rigorous mathematical
| proofs of core topics - such as matrices, determinants, and linear
| transformations - with direct MATLAB code implementations.
|
| Applied Linear Algebra and Optimization Using MATLAB
|
| Written by Rizwan Butt, this text balances core theoretical linear
| algebra concepts with computational speed and accuracy, leveraging
| embedded short MATLAB programs to solve systems of linear equations.
|
| Matrix Algebra Using MINimal MATlab
|
| Written by Joel W. Robbin, this book integrates traditional linear
| algebra exposition (subspaces, rank, determinants, and
| diagonalization) with contemporary numerical methods compatible with
| MATLAB syntax.
|
| Advanced Linear Algebra for Engineers with MATLAB
|
| Written by Sohail A. Dianat and Eli Saber, this text offers an
| advanced look at matrix theory, incorporating a broad selection of
| progressive exercises and MATLAB problems tailored for signal
| processing and engineering scenarios.
