Linear Algebra and Its Applications, 4th Edition

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. David Lay introduces these concepts early in a familiar, concrete Rⁿ setting, develops them gradually, and returns to them again and again throughout the text so that when discussed in the abstract, these concepts are more accessible.

Reading this one is well worth it and will help you do well in the class. Don't forget to buy the study guide too. It's not very expensive and will show you how to do the odd numbered problems and help you refresh quickly on vocabulary that you will be certain to need to know for the exam.

What can you say? If this is a required book for a class (it was) then you have to get it. It's got pages, diagrams, math, etc. This also came with the unused code for using MyMathLab online. My son who is using this says he's had no problems using this book for his class (he's currently getting an 'A').
