For courses in linear algebra.

With traditional linear algebra texts, the course is relatively easy for students during the early stages as material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting. However, when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a wall. Instructors seem to agree that certain concepts (such as linear independence, spanning, subspace, vector space, and linear transformations) are not easily understood and require time to assimilate. These concepts are fundamental to the study of linear algebra, so students' understanding of them is vital to mastering the subject. This text makes these concepts more accessible by introducing them early in a familiar, concrete Rn setting, developing them gradually, and returning to them throughout the text so that when they are discussed in the abstract, students are readily able to understand.

Product description

From the Back Cover

New to the textbook

  • More than 25% of the exercises are new or updated, especially computational exercises. These are crafted in a way that reflects the substance of each of the sections they follow, developing the students’ confidence while challenging them to practice and generalize the new ideas they have encountered.
  • Conceptual Practice Problems and their solutions in most sections provide additional support for proof- or concept-based learning. Additional guidance has also been added to some of the proofs of theorems in the body of the text.

MyMathLab not included. Students, if MyMathLab is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. MyMathLab should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.


Also available with MyMathLab

MyMathLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. MyMathLab includes assignable algorithmic exercises, the complete eBook, interactive figures, tools to personalize learning, and more.

  • More assignable algorithmic exercises allow you to craft homework assignments that better meet student needs.
  • Interactive eBook utilizes Wolfram CDF Player (the free Mathematica player). Students can interact with figures and experiment with matrices by looking at numerous examples.
  • Interactive figures bring the geometry of linear algebra to life. Using the Wolfram CDF Player, students can manipulate figures and experiment with matrices by looking at numerous examples. These figures are available within the eBook and as separate files (for ease of use during lecture).
  • Technology exercises and projects in MATLAB, Maple, Mathematica, and TI format have been updated to reflect changes in those systems. And all resources have been reorganized to make them easier for instructors and students to locate and use.

I already borrowed this book at the university library before so I knew what I was buying. Out of every linear algebra books I've looked at, this one was my favorite.

I would definitely recommend buying this book. It gives a great insight into linear algebra and the format is such that it is not overwhelmingly theoretical. Lots of examples after each concept makes anything understandable.

It's to be noted that the hardcover edition has frail pages. I don't have data on the paperback edition.
You can find the online chapters by googling:
"Chapter 9 Linear Algebra and its Applications" &
"Chapter 10 Linear Algebra and its Applications."

I would take half a star away for paper quality and design (who thought the fully blue and yellow paperback cover was a good choice?) but it's not worth taking a full star off so I can only give it 5 stars.
