This book has a lot of very interesting applications and seems to cover information not normally found in first books on Linear Algebra (e.g., makes use of calculus, Taylor series, etc) and the authors are EEs, not mathematicians. It doesn't, however, cover several topics normally covered in the first year of linear algebra (e.g., vector spaces, subspaces, nullspace, eigenvalues, singular values; see pp 461-462). As with most engineering books, there are no solutions provided.

An excellent supplement to other Linear Algebra textbooks. Given its focus on applications, will hold the interest of engineers and other technical folk but may not be loved by mathematicians who may prefer a more rigorous approach.
