Pdf - Gelfand Lectures On Linear Algebra

Originally published in Russian in the late 1940s (and later translated into English by Dover), this short but dense book is based on Gelfand’s actual lectures at Moscow State University. It covers the core of introductory linear algebra: systems of linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues, and bilinear/quadratic forms — all in about 180 small pages.

The lectures are structured into several major parts, progressing from basic spaces to more advanced introductions: gelfand lectures on linear algebra pdf
