* This book presents matrix algebra in a way that is well-suited for those with an interest in statistics or related disciplines * Includes a number of useful results that have previously only been available from relatively obscure sources * Detailed proofs are provided for all results * The style and level of presentation are designed to make the contents accessible to a broad audience
レビュー
From a review:
THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF STATISTICS
"This is a book that will be welcomed by many statisticians at most stages of professional development. ...It is essentially a carefully sequenced and tightly interlocking collections of proofs in an elementary, though very pure mathematical style."

The book claims to be from a statistician perspective, but if you are a student statistician you a need clear and concise text and this is not it! If you are a research statistician especially in this big data age, you need much more practical theory than this book offers.
In addition, it doesn't really make a good reference book because the material is not set out in a clear way, important theorems are buried with trivial theorems, so prepare to get your highlighter out and mark the pages!
Find a better book to buy!
As one reviewer notes, the book does not have a lot of problems. I would focus more on proving the theorems rather than the number of problems. Harville could have proved less of the theorems, and inserted them as problems, but he proved a large number of theorems in detail.
I'm currently using this book in a class I'm taking. Overall, the content of the book is very solid, and I can see keeping this book (or possibly the hardcover version) on my shelf for years to come. However, the material is very dense and the exposition is generally lacking. Reading this book is difficult due in part to the poor layout decisions that were made; the layout isn't atrocious, but there is significant room for improvement. Also, the soft-cover seems to not want to stay closed (just a minor annoyance).
If you've never taken a matrix algebra course before, this is not the book to learn from (try either the Hoffman and Kunze or Friedberg books - both are considered good undergraduate-level texts). If you are looking for a book to act as a reference, this is a good choice. In my opinion, there should be a somewhat larger focus on the applications of the matrix algebra to statistics.
(4 stars because it is a solid reference and I knew that is what it aims to be - it lost a star due to the layout and cover issues as well as the dissatisfying lack of direct applications to statistics).
Updated:
As the semester progressed and the material covered in the book moved further from material I knew, I became more and more dissatisfied with it. Learning matrix algebra from this book would be like learning English from a dictionary. There are VERY few examples (asymptotically 0?) and very little explanation of what everything relates to.
Here is an example of exposition leading up to a theorem which I would say characterizes 90% of the book:
"The following theorem, which extends the results of Theorem 14.12.19, is obtained by combining the results of Theorem 14.12.32 with those of Theorem 14.12.26 and Corollary 14.12.27."
That's it. No other commentary, explanation of the purpose of the theorem or why it is important or how it relates to anything else. No theorems are highlighted as being more important than any other.
Moreover, the typesetting in the book is among the worst I've seen in a textbook - it really is very difficult to read more than a single theorem and proof.
As such, I've changed my rating to 2 stars.
---End Rant---
I was assigned this book for a matrix algebra course, the idea being to get incoming graduate students ready for linear models by patching up any holes in linear algebra. Towards that end, working through this book seems inefficient. It's supposed to be from a statistician's perspective, yet somehow eigenvalues/eigenvectors and the Spectral Theorem aren't touched until 21 chapters in. I find it a little odd that nullspaces aren't defined until 11 chapters in (most texts would address this by chapter 2 I think) and the closest thing to an application comes in chapter 12 with the discussion of projection matrices. I can't decide whether I like or dislike the fact that the book basically ignores computational aspects (e.g. you won't find anything about putting a matrix in reduced row echelon form in here, and very little discussion on, say, the practical ways to invert a matrix).
A unique aspect of this book, compared with other Linear Algebra texts, is the level of abstraction. Everything is at the level of the vector space R^(m x n), which I suppose allows for the discussion of more specialized topics without having to specify. In my opinion, it's pretty comprehensive at this level of generality and covers many topics that are omitted in more standard texts. As far as the general writing of the book, I feel that a lot of the material is under motivated, which is fine for a reference but not good for an assigned textbook.
I imagine that I will keep this book as a reference, particularly for the less essential material. It's well organized and, for my needs, comprehensive enough.
