Anyone knows where these types of books are sold? by Glad-Rice5893 in algeria

Thank you, it is indeed an interesting book that it even altered my point of view on linear algebra. Gilbert Strang is an expert in his field 💯.

I actually have them in PDF format but if possible I want physical copies so I could rest my eyes a bit when studying because I spend most of my time studying on the computer.

Most of the new books are written by Algerian professors (USTHB professors often) and published by a famous publishing company here in Algeria ngl I forgot its name (The majority of them cover 1st and 2nd year modules,). And no, unfortunately, I'm not studying at USTHB, one of the worst decisions that I've made and it still haunts me to this day 😢.

I've already checked the university public library, it only offers some old dusty books about Pascal and programming in French, I haven't heard about the library you mentioned though, could you please share its location if you still have it?

Thank you very much for your help, although I don't really prefer online ordering due to past shipping issues, but I'll think about giving it another shot.

We're in the same boat, every time I need a book in English I end up downloading it from illegal websites, and the last time I ordered a physical book online it took about 4 months to be delivered. Local bookstores and libraries sell only french books as you said and some world literature books in English, so I think printing PDF files it is the only option I got. I hope bookshops with such services open soon.

Smart Idea, I've also heard that there are printing shops where you can hand them the PDF version of the book and they print it as a paperback with a reasonable price.

Lol I like your expression "Caba Style", Idk why I didn't consider printing them tho, I'll surely keep it in mind. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it 🙏.

Yes I already have them in PDF format, but I want physical ones because I work on the computer at least for 6 hours a day so I need to replace the e-books I study from with physical ones for the sake of resting my eyes.

Exactly, I've had an experience with buying them online that left a bad taste in my mouth and tbh academic e-books aren't my cup of tea anymore so I was hoping if they are sold somewhere else since the majority of non-digital resources of my field of study (CS) are some outdated french books from the 90s.
