Linear Algebra Done Right

Seventh and Later Printings of the Second Edition, Errata

I tried hard to make Linear Algebra Done Right error-free, but spotting mistakes in one's own writing can be difficult in a book-length work. Errors in the seventh and later printings of the second edition that I know about are listed below. All these errors were corrected in the third edition. If you notice additional errors in the book or have suggestions for improvements, please let me know (linear@axler.net).

• On page 81, line 9 of the proof of 5.10, "coefficients a₁, ..., a_m" should be ""coefficients a₁, ..., a_n".

• On page 151, line 12 from the bottom, "1-by-1"" should be "1-by-1 matrix".

• On page 154, last line, "S₂u" should be "S₂w".

• On page 195, line 9, the period should be a comma.

• On page 207, fifth line below 9.21, "1 < j <= n" should be "1 < j <= m".

• On page 217, "alpha_m" in 10.7 should be "alpha_M".
