From the reviews of the third edition:“This edition is enhanced by the inclusion of further results and many new examples. There are also over 130 additional exercises and many of the earlier ones have been revised. Furthermore, many more biographical notes and thumbnail portraits of mathematicians connected in some way with linear algebra have been added. This book continues to be very successful and useful, not only as a textbook for advanced linear algebra courses, but also for self-study and reference purposes.” (Rabe von Randow, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1237, 2012)
