Linear Algebra Done Right by Sheldon Axler looks like an excellent textbook. If I ever end up teaching or tutoring undergraduate linear algebra again I think I&#x27;d try it as a text. The book is open access and is available at <a href="https://linear.axler.net" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>linear.axler.net</a> (I have no affiliation with the author; I just like the book!)<br><br>One thing I like about this book is its approach to eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Most linear algebra books present eigenvalues as roots of the &quot;characteristic polynomial&quot;, which is built from the &quot;determinant&quot;, which in turn has some formula defining it. These objects are rarely motivated geometrically, and so you&#x27;re left with limited understanding of just what an eigenvalue is or why linear transformations on finite-dimensional vector spaces must have them. Axler avoids determinants till Chapter 9 of the book, focusing instead on linear operators. The fact that operators must have eigenvalues pops out of the observation that iterating an operator on a given non-zero starting vector results in a set of vectors that must eventually become linearly dependent. This fact also leads to the development of the characteristic polynomial; you can then come at the determinant from this, more geometric, perspective.<br><br><a href="/tags/math/" rel="tag">#math</a> <a href="/tags/teaching/" rel="tag">#teaching</a> <a href="/tags/linearalgebra/" rel="tag">#LinearAlgebra</a><br>
