Wow! Your textbook looks phenomenal. Eyeballing the table of contents and a few chapters, this arrangement of material looks exactly like what I'm advocating throughout this thread. Gaussian elimination and systems of linear equations before vector spaces, a coverage of fields in tandem with vector spaces, some treatment of sets and functions in appendices, generous usage of matrices to supplement theory...
And you include solutions for your exercises? This is fantastic! Do you have any plans to write something like this for functional analysis?
Thank you, that's very kind. Working on Theory of Computation. Don't know any functional analysis, sorry.
This is great news. Please model the Theory of Computation book after your Linear Algebra book (by including full solutions). This is an excellent resource for self-learners.
Do you have a timeline for the release of the book? Would you have any interest in writing an Abstract Algebra text?

Several years. I have a very early draft, no doubt full of errors, that I am teaching from. It is linked-to from the linear page.

Sorry, no. But all my stuff is Free and you could take the .cls file, etc. Go nuts.

These things take time lol, he might not even want to write any other books after that theory of computation one!
