• Demmel. "Applied Numerical Linear Algebra", ISBN-13 978-0898713893, SIAM (1997). This book has many similarities to the Trefethen book, but has more details on numerical linear algebra algorithms.
• Golub and Van Loan. "Matrix Computations", ISBN-13 978-0801854149, Johns Hopkins University Press, 3rd edition (1996). This book is an excellent detailed reference, but is not necessarily the best as a first learning resource. It is a fairly comprehensive book for linear algebraic algorithms.
• Strang. "Linear Algebra and its Applications", ISBN-13 978-0030105678, Brooks Cole, 4th edition (2006). This book has more worked-out explicit examples. It covers many of the topics for this course at a high level, but does not go into as much detail as some other texts.
• Lax. "Linear Algebra and Its Applications", ISBN-13 978-0471751564, Wiley, second edition (2007). This is an excellent mathematical compendium of linear algebra theory. Many computational algorithms are also treated, but at a more abstract level. This book is a "definition, theorem, proof" mathematical treatment of linear algebra.
