Needed book, could be better

Linear algebra is really a foundational course.  If it doesn't explain so much about the world, it explains a very great deal about the way mathematicians think about the world.  This book is written at exactly the level to give students a first view into the subject.  So, it collects the facts in a very concise and straightforward way.  A freshman or sophomore in college (or even a good high school student) could use this as a fine introduction.

It was particularly insightful and very necessary for the author to include geometric algebra as a second half of the book.  It goes beyond the regular curriculum and gives insight into mathematics that is very useful for computer applications and for general calculation.  It is really a way of the future, and students are brought in on the ground floor.

Most people would see nothing to object to in this book.  I would like to have seen a more detailed and constructive presentation.  The author states (correctly) a basis of G^3 without going into detail of why the stated elements do form a basis.  How does a beginner know they're linearly independent?  (They look independent, isn't that enough????)  If he had been willing to be more careful and constructive, I think it would have been a great book.  As it is, the book is useful and ought to be considered at many schools, although I think there are certainly much better linear algebra texts (Linear Algebra Done Right, for example).  None of the better texts give the huge advantage of including geometric algebra, as they really ought to do.

adequate, but pictures lacking - covers everything, but typically just one version - not the best book

It's a good book, step by step.  But if it had a real case as example would be better.

Good information but the chapters could be more well organized and presented.  I found navigating the book to be a chore.

The concept behind this book could be helpful but I believe it could have been wrote and illustrated much better.

The book is a fair source, but lacking in some needed detail to make it a complete work. If you are going to start on a subject, complete the work, and be thorough enough to make it useful. Im not a novice or anything, but there were some topics that would leave a novice hanging. I consider it a bit pricey for the content.

The book is not bad, really, and it does contain useful information about reflexology, however I would describe its layout as nothing but sloppy. Many repeated pictures and explanations lead me to think the authors tried to make the book longer (thinker...) than it has to be. Realistically, you would be more likely to buy this book if it is 120 pages, than if it is only 60 pages :-).
There are many mistakes (one picture shows one thing, the next one conflicts and so on...). However, the book is still useful, and I would believe what the other reviewers said.
My 2c.

Good program, but the book could be better organized so that it is easy to find the core information you need.

Book is okay for basic info. But needs to have more in-depth knowledge for us who are looking for more information than just basics.

Ggod Book. However,  some of the techniques could have been explained better.

You could probably learn just as much by doing a quick Google search. Some of the charts are useful but the book takes a lot of pages to say some pretty basic stuff.

Good reading, but the practice questions could be better. Also leaves out a few categories that I had to brush up on from other sources, but that's to be expected with just about any single book.

*******review update******* This product is outdated since the exam was updated in 2007 and this book is based on the 2005 exam

Great, but it got bogged down in detail. A more concise or simple version would be great-or a chapter summary .A shopping list would be helpful too

There is good information here, but it badly needed an editor.  Rife with non-sequiters, ramblings, and examples that don't quite follow.  My statistics and probability textbook was more interesting.  There are better books.

Material needed more organization.  Visiting this subject for the first time,  there could have been more examples to keep the subject understandable.

Honestly, I am not satisfied my reading this book because I had a huge expectation from this book. It just a simple book and filled up wish some basic guides that anyone can get from internet just doing a little search over Google. I thought it will teach me new things that will help me to learn about how to write a song within a short time frame. Anyways, still here I found some guides & lessons that were helpful, but the author should improve this book more and make it worthy.

It covered most of the information needed but more illustrations would have helped. Some of the more technical aspects, in my opinion, need more visual pictures, diagrams, charts,etc. This would give the reader a more comprehensive understanding of the procedures involved.
