The authors Peterson and Sochacki describe matrices to differential equations using less content than calculus books. Used for MATH 205 Linear Methods at Lehigh U., this book gives you just about enough examples to get by, but is stock full of theory most will simply ignore. Their explanations are on or below par with other books and will take some time to understand. Overall, the book is good and economical for 9 chapters that will satisfy a course.
This is exactly what I needed to take math 130 at ccsf

the material covered, great. whatever. but the damn book fell apart in less than two months! what am i supposed to do with a book that is now missing thirty pages, with hundreds more peeling from the binding, dangling precariously, waiting to disappear like the others? i can't sell the book for a used price; i can't even donate it! who wants a math book that's missing a chapter? i don't.
The book is softcover and flimsy. It is dry. The examples are usually helpful. Some theorems are only stated when they also need to be proven. Visual representations would help.
