Written by a true master of the subject and explained in a way that even non-mathematicans can understand. 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. This book has its permanent place on my work desk alongside Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: With Applications to Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering by Steven H. Since they are fundamental to the study of linear algebra, students' understanding of these concepts is vital to their mastery of the subject.He has been elected by the university students to membership in Alpha Lambda Delta National Scholastic Honor Society and Golden Key National Honor Society.

The book revisits those concepts throughout, ensuring you do not become overwhelmed when abstract concepts are introduced, as you progress with your learning. e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Lay is an excellent introductory guide to the principles and foundations of practical 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. Gilbert Strang's lectures on Linear Algebra on MIT Open Courseware are excellent and I recommend them. The breadth of applications is especially impressive: although most of them use extremely simplified models of the thing being studied, they really do give you a good understanding of how linear algebra is used in practice.
