Product Information

Linear algebra is relatively easy for students during the early stages of the course, when the material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting. But when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a brick 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. Since they are fundamental to the study of linear algebra, students' understanding of these concepts is vital to their mastery of the subject. Lay introduces these concepts early in a familiar, concrete Rn setting, develops them gradually, and returns to them again and again throughout the text. Finally, when discussed in the abstract, these concepts are more accessible. - New full color design allows for clearer understanding of figures and graphically important concepts and procedures. - MyMathLab is now available, integrating the texts content with the Student Study Guide. All of the texts many electronic resources can be found on MyMathLab. - MathXL is now available for the text, allowing students to take tests and quizzes online. - An electronic test generator, TestGen-EQ, allows for creation of paper tests, or can be used in conjunction with MathXL to test or do homework online. - Interactive Content. The full text in now available online, integrating the texts content with the Students Study Guide and electronic practice problems. All of the texts many electronic resources can be found on MyMathLab. - MathXL allows students to take tests and quizzes online. It works in conjunction with TestGen-EQ, allowing instructors to post custom tests for quizzing, homework, or practice. - Students Study Guide is now available free as a part of MyMathLab. - Transparency Masters for every chapter help save time. For instructors only. - Downloadable Data Files for exercises and projects are available for Matlab, Maple, Mathematica, and selected graphing calculators. - Sample Syllabi written by David C. Lay offer suggestions for course organization. For instructors only. - Review Sheets and Practice Tests help students study effectively. - Sample Tests with solutions written by David C.
