DESCRIPTION:
"99% Identical to the 5th Edition. But you'll need to get HW problems from a friend." according to Larry. Pretty solid textbook. I got this for a linear algebra course in college. Although it is a version behind, it was nearly identical to the 5th edition. Of course the chapter problems are updated with different numbers but the structure of each problem was idential 99% of the time. This was great for practicing problems that my teacher assigned from the newer edition.I'd recommend getting this book over the 5th edition, borrowing a friends book to get the chapter problems, and save a TON of money.Also, if you look aroun. "A solid explanation of linear algebra" according to TinaM. First off, this book is not well-suited for students who have never seen a matrix and have not yet mastered the basic calculations of how to multiply and add matrices, or for those who have never seen Gaussian elimination. There are many other textbooks that do nothing but provide you with exercise after exercise of manual computations of inverses and determinants that are better suited to that purpose.That said, for anyone taking a course in linear algebra who actually wants to know more than the rote mechanics of ma. The best for self-study Ramon Barbosa Rosa Linear Algebra is not an easy topic, in especially because many concepts are not intuitive. So I struggled a lot to master some abstract concepts like Linear Transformation, Vector Space and Subspaces. As far I'm concerned, David Lay's book is the only one that explains these concepts with clear and didactic figures. For example, I was able to understand what really a Kernel was and a Range only after had reading the text and figure 2 at page 204 of the fourth edition. In my opinion is the best book for self-study to

Renowned professor and author Gilbert Strang demonstrates that linear algebra is a fascinating subject by showing both its beauty and value. Throughout the book, the theory is motivated and reinforced by genuine applications, allowing pure mathematicians to teach applied mathematics.. Strang's emphasis is on understanding. While the mathematics is there, the effort is not all concentrated on proofs. He explains concepts, rather than deduces. The gears change in Chapter 2 as students reach the introduction of vector spaces. This book is written in an informal and personal style and teaches real mathematics
