Book for Linear Algebra and Matrix

Question

my major is Electrical Engineering and I am new in linear algebra and I need to be familiar with matrix theory deeply because of my research topic which is Image Processing. But, I do not know from where should I start. I would like to study a book to find out which part of the matrix theory is useful for my research area. Can anybody suggest an easy and easy-to-read book for linear algebra and matrix theory? Thanks

Answer 1

Linear Algebra by Hoffman Kunze is a great book for beginners.

Then if you want to learn more about algebra I would suggest :

1)Artin's Algebra

2)Abstract Algebra by Dummit and Foote

Answer 2

The book "Linear Algebra" by Hoffmann and Kunze is a really good book. However, you can try "Linear Statistical Inference" by C.R. Rao as well. It is a pretty short encyclopaedia on a lot of topics in matrix algebra, although it is difficult to read and has some really hard problems.

In fact, you can go through "Matrix Algebra from a Statistician's Perspective". It has some comprehensive topics on the subject of interest.

Answer 3

Go with Gilbert Strang's Linear algebra. He also has video lectures here.

If you have never encountered matrices before, or want to revise, you should start with this book by Eves
