Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces

I own at least a dozen books on various aspects of linear algebra, ranging from community college level textbooks (Anton) to treatments targeting specific industries such as computer graphics. Invariably, I end up poring over the relevant material in Halmos to ensure that both the exposition in some other text and my understanding of the topic is correct.

Time spent reading this relatively thin book is measured in “hours per page.” It's time well spent.
