About the Book

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. Lay provide classroom-tested exam options for instructors. For instructors only. - Applications by Chapter are a selection of case studies, problems, and application projects based on real-world data and keyed to the text. - References to Applications lists hundreds of applications referred to in the text, and provides hot links to the case studies and application projects. - Teaching Notes for Linear Algebra: Modules for Interactive Learning Using Maple[registered], an interactive linear algebra tutorial. These highly geometric modules can be used for classroom demonstrations, individual student work or interactive collaboration. For instructors only.

About the Author :
David C. Lay holds a B.A. from Aurora University (Illinois), and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles. Lay has been an educator and research mathematician since 1966, mostly at the University of Maryland, College Park. He has also served as a visiting professor at the University of Amsterdam, the Free University in Amsterdam, and the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. He has over 30 research articles published in functional analysis and linear algebra. As a founding member of the NSF-sponsored Linear Algebra Curriculum Study Group, Lay has been a leader in the current movement to modernize the linear algebra curriculum. Lay is also co-author of several mathematics texts, including Introduction to Functional Analysis, with Angus E. Taylor, Calculus and Its Applications, with L.J. Goldstein and D.I. Schneider, and Linear Algebra Gems-Assets for Undergraduate Mathematics, with D. Carlson, C.R. Johnson, and A.D. Porter. A top-notch educator, Professor Lay has received four university awards for teaching excellence, including, in 1996, the title of Distinguished Scholar-Teacher of the University of Maryland. In 1994, he was given one of the Mathematical Association of America's Awards for Distinguished College or Unviersity Teaching of Mathematics. He has been elected by the university students to membership in Alpha Lambda Delta National Scholastic Honor Society and Golden Key National Honor Society. In 1989, Aurora University conferred on him the Outstanding Alumnus award. Lay is a member of the American Mathematical Society, the Canadian Mathematical Society, the International Linear Algebra Society, the Mathematical Association of America, Sigma Xi, and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Since 1992, he has served several terms on the national board of the Association of Christians in the Mathematical Sciences.
