This classic volume applies linear algebra to a variety of disciplines-engineering, the physical sciences, social sciences, and business. It motivates the reader with illustrative examples. This is a competitor to Strang.
This is one of the best math books I have ever read. I had to learn linear algebra for my graduate research and this book was invaluable. I just wish they wrote a differential equations book as well. The best part of this book are the excellent conceptual explainations, but the proofs are well motivated and clear as well, and I usually hate proofs. The coverage of Singular Value Decomposition is very good.
Best text for undergraduates on Linear Algebra

It provides an excellent approach to Linear Algebra for self-pacing. Different from other linear algebra books, it's well organized and teaches how and why the ideas come from by providing many interesting examples.It isn't only the classics, but the essential reference for related fields in my bookshelf.
