As good if not better than the standard texts out there

This book is pedagocially sound and extremely informative, and offers a welcome alternative to the standards of the field like Trefethen/Bau and Demmel.

A very resourceful and readable book on this subject

While there are many books on Numerical Linear Algebra at various levels, Datta's book is very resourceful and carefully prepared for classroom use. The book is very readable and the students would love it. The organization of the topics, the method of presentation, historical background at the beginning of each chapter, lucid examples, comprehensive and detailed proofs for almost all Theorems, useful MATLAB exercises for almost all the computational methods presented in the book make this book very suitable for classroom adoptation. Datta has given lots of good references (books and journal articles) at the end of each chapter, which are useful for further research on the major topics. It is a very nice and well-written book. The only suggestion that I have is to add more details on Krylov Space methods and such topics, and make this book suitable for a wider audience. I recommend this book strongly.

excellent adv undergrad text on numerical linear algebra

Great for classroom and self study. One of the few texts to give step by step examples on almost all of its algorithms,which can be carried out on most hand held calculators. An essential step in the learning process. This book makes learning Numerical Linear Algebra as exciting as it really is.
