Summary: very elementary, yet still hard to read
Comment: I don't know how Kolman managed to do it, but he did. He wrote a very basic linear algebra text book for beginners and yet made his explanations so unclear that the book ends up being hard to read. The topics are the very basics of linear algebra: no canonical forms, no infinite dimensional spaces, the underlying field is always R or C, and everything is done in terms of matrices. The explanations of the concepts that are covered could use some coherence and a dash of order.
I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone. It's pretty much garbage.

Summary: Another garbage book
Comment: This text has to be among the worst math books I have ever encountered. The content in the chapters is very vauge and I'd hazard to guess makes sense only to those who already know linear algebra. This book may perhaps be a good refresher book, but as a beginning text it fails miserably. The examples as others have said are not helpful at all nor are the solutions found in the back of the book. Overall, this book is a waste of bookshelf space. Get Anton's book instead and save yourself the trouble.

Summary: Buy Another Book
Comment: This book is required for my Linear Algebra class. Since my professor is not the best lecturer, I've had to buy another book to have any hope at understanding the material. This book gives poor explanations and the examples are not helpful. After looking around, I've found that there are many, many books out there that will make the topic easier to understand.
