Thank you for sending the book. It was in very good condition, like you promised and I received the book much earlier than I originally had thought.
 Santa Clara University's linear algebra text December 3, 1999

This review is of the 2nd edition printed in '89. I bought this book off the shelf at SCU as a review source. The texts chosen at SCU have a tendency to lean toward the practical applications side and away from the theoretical. Johnson's text was no exception. Practical aspects of limitations of solution methods implimented on computers are discussed. A bit dry or lacking in motivation but otherwise a good coverage of the subject matter with answers to odd numbered problems at the back. My only real criticism of the text was the authors' tendency to introduce some important concepts in the problem sets themselves rather than covering them in the main body of the chapter. This is awkward if you want to use the book as a reference.

AAAAAARRR!
It's really linear pre-algebra, except that its appropriate for high school students. I thought it was a "high school only" book the whole time I owned it, too.
To be fair, I bought it after reading the Dutch Book, -Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications, 2nd Edition-by M. de Berg, et al. The Dutch Book was great, but I thought I needed a stepping stone before more dedicated linear programming. Still, this linear math book was unspeakably filthy. Am sorry?
While I have endured through college algebras and other such forms of applied analysis before, I never seen anything this baaaad before, either. Sorry.
Believing it to be a college textbook, I bought it right alongside -Introduction to Linear Optimization-, by Dimitris Bertsimas and John N. Tsitsiklis, an Athena Scientific book. Surprisingly, the Athena Scientific bests it hands down!
By the way..."Introduction to Linear Optimization" remains one of my favorite book, while I donated the pre-algebra to Goodwill some weeks ago (Just to compare).
The book deserves at two stars for being readable. However, I posted this review so that others would be forewarn and so not wastes the resources which they could better use elsewhere.
 Use other textbook! February 12, 2005

This book was poorly written and organized. It might be OK if you only use it as a reference. But if you have to use it for your class, you'd better find another textbook for your second source.
Don't Buy!!! June 2, 2008

I'm very disappointed with this solution manual. It does not explain the answer well. The writer only add a few sentences to the answers which can be found on the back of the textbook! The way the explanation is being written is also very confusing!!! Don't buy this book!!!
