Mike: "This book has readable proofs."

Again Wiley can't use formating to save their life, authors for Wiley please get them to fix these horrors. Your information is getting lost in the trash presentation. (

Elementary Linear Algebra 11th edition gives an elementary treatment of linear algebra that is suitable for a first course for undergraduate students. The aim is to present the fundamentals of linear algebra in the clearest possible way; pedagogy is the main consideration. Calculus is not a prerequisite, but there are clearly labeled exercises and examples (which can be omitted without loss of continuity) for students who have studied calculus. (
