Tom M. Apostol 
Linear Algebra [EPUB ebook] 
A First Course with Applications to Differential Equations

Developed from the author’s successful two-volume Calculus text this book presents Linear Algebra without emphasis on abstraction or formalization. To accommodate a variety of backgrounds, the text begins with a review of prerequisites divided into precalculus and calculus prerequisites. It continues to cover vector algebra, analytic geometry, linear spaces, determinants, linear differential equations and more.
