Featuring a distinctive honey yellow cover, it enjoys a strong 4.7-star rating from 85 readers and ranks prominently in Algebra & Trigonometry categories, making it an essential resource for serious students and professionals. ## Description This is a graduate level textbook covering an especially broad range of topics. The first part of the book contains a careful but rapid discussion of the basics of linear algebra, including vector spaces, linear transformations, quotient spaces, and isomorphism theorems. The author then proceeds to a discussion of modules, emphasizing a comparison with vector spaces. A thorough discussion of inner product spaces, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and finite dimensional spectral theory follows, culminating in the finite dimensional spectral theorem for normal operators. The new edition has been revised and contains a chapter on the QR decomposition, singular values and pseudoinverses, and a chapter on convexity, separation and positive solutions to linear systems. From the reviews of the first edition: "The book is very well written and has a good set of exercises. It is a suitable choice as a graduate textbook as well as a reference book." A.A. Jafarian for ZentralblattMATH Review: Great text - dreadful binding - This is the second edition of Steven Roman's text on linear algebra. The first edition was very good but the typesetting was somewhat amateurish. This edition corrects that problem beautifully and offers a much expanded range of topics. The material is well motivated, the proofs are detailed, and the writing is clear. It is ideal for self-study for somone with a background in introductory linear algebra who wishes to delve more deeply into advanced topics. So why only 3 stars? Answer: after minimal use the binding cracked, and it will only be a matter of time before pages start falling out. Springer should be ashamed at distributing such a poorly bound book. I've purchased a number of Springer books lately, and this is not the only time I've been disappointed at poor production quality. If I were Steve Roman, I would be upset that my otherwise excellent text is being sold with such an inferior binding (at least in my copy). If you purchase this book - and you should - check immediately that the binding is satisfactory. Review: A gentle introduction to advanced linear algebra - The author is an excellent teacher. The content is advanced and very easy to follow up. I self-study to chapters 1-10. The book did a good job to connect the concept of undergraduate-level linear algebra( The structure of Jordan form and so on) and the more abstract level of linear algebra(Modules over a Principal Ideal Domain). Highly recommend ## Features - Gorgeous honey yellow, many theorems! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #566,337 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #833 in Algebra & Trigonometry #48,119 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 86 Reviews | ## Images ![Advanced Linear Algebra: 135 (Graduate Texts in Mathematics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PTlm4vIfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Great text - dreadful binding *by E***R on 14 August 2012* This is the second edition of Steven Roman's text on linear algebra.

The content is advanced and very easy to follow up. I self-study to chapters 1-10. The book did a good job to connect the concept of undergraduate-level linear algebra( The structure of Jordan form and so on) and the more abstract level of linear algebra(Modules over a Principal Ideal Domain). Highly recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Steven Roman has a very natural pedagogical style *by C***. on 12 March 2021* This is an excellent book for consolidating and expanding upon topics covered in the first few years of an undergraduate degree. It begins by revisiting material from introductory linear algebra, but does so in a much more mature "abstract algebra" setting which acts as a pleasant stepping stone into the more graduate-level style. There is a decent survey of module theory which is often neglected or missing from undergraduate texts and It also covers a lot of concepts which I had some vague notion of but hadn't found the right path to investigate; tensor products, graded algebras, exterior product and symplectic and affine geometries, to name a few. Much more than that I really can't speak highly enough of the author's pedagogical skill. He imparts information in a clear concise way, but in such a way that everything comes across as natural and obvious. Opening a section of the book at random may look daunting at first, but you won't have to read more than a few sentences before the ideas emerge in sharp relief and you genuinely feel like you've understood something significant. The best way I can describe it is it's as though he has explained something the way I would have explained it to myself had I already understood it. Maybe I just have a particular affinity with the style, but I suspect it is more universal than that. All in all I would highly recommend the text to anyone looking to recast their undergraduate material on a stronger footing, either in preparation for further study or even as a summer read before beginning their third or fourth year. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/158426016-advanced-linear-algebra-135-graduate-texts-in-mathematics](https://www.desertcart.is/products/158426016-advanced-linear-algebra-135-graduate-texts-in-mathematics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
