Linear Algebra

Oct 10 07 | 1:27 pm

My linear algebra text defines terms in exercises which it then refers to in future chapters. Unless you happened to read Chapter 2.3’s exercise 13 and 14, you don’t know how to do future problems.

I dislike this textbook a lot.

  1. Hey, that’s the book that we used. I don’t remember it doing that, but then again we had a terrible teacher. Where does it refer to previous exercises?

  2. The end of chapter problems for Chapter 2 talk about “upper triangular matrices” and “lower triangular matrices” which are defined in 2.3.13 and 2.3.14.

    Yea, I don’t like the way the book teaches. It is not conducive to my learning style. Boooo this book.
