 iswritten, there are three union signs, where the indices are respectively=
 c,x_c and x_c. The first union should be over elements x_c; these form ase=
t of representatives for the coset space H/H", where H" is the intersection=
of H and the conjugate of H' by c. The second union is over elements c.The =
third union is as written; namely, it's a union over the sameset of element=
s x_c that appeared in the first union. In short,one needs to exchangethe i=

From a pedagogical as well as strictly mathematical perspective, which one =
of Lang's Linear algebra and Introduction to linear algebra would you recom=
mend to an undergraduate with not much experience with linear algebra, but =
a fairly good grip of some abstract algebra and real analysis, who wants to=
 gain a rigorous and precise knowledge of the topic? Are these two books re=
ally different? How do they compare with each other?

Caveat: this answer is predicated on the student having "a fairly good grip=
 of some abstract algebra and real analysis [and] who wants to gain a rigor=
ous and precise knowledge of the topic [of linear algebra]." Therefore, I w=
ould tend to recommend a book more in the vein of Lang's Linear Algebra tha=
n his Introduction to Linear Algebra, unless one has not seen any linear al=
gebra at all. Usually, the difference between such books is that the introd=
uctory type focuses on vectors, matrices, computations and concrete example=
s, whereas the more advanced books take a more abstract approach, emphasizi=
ng structures, mappings and proofs.
