It covers most of the standard material in an introductory Linear Algebra course. There is one large omission: the textbook completely ignores the notion of change of basis. There is no explanation why this was done, and a guess is that it was overlooked. The book is also very streamlined, and does not have much outside of the standard curriculum (which might be a plus).


Change of basis is covered in section 5.3 on "similarity". See in particular the subsection "Geometry of Similar Matrices".


Aha. It appears it was just skipped in the curriculum rather, http://people.math.gatech.edu/~cjankowski3/19f/m1553/webpage....
