A First Course In Linear Algebra
by Robert A. BeezerThis textbook is designed to teach the university mathematics student the basics of linear algebra and the techniques of formal mathematics. There are no prerequisites other than ordinary algebra, but it is probably best used by a student who has the "mathematical maturity" of a sophomore or junior.

So there is an emphasis on worked examples of nontrivial size and on proving theorems carefully.
