With traditional texts, the early stages of the course arerelatively easy as material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting, butstudents often hit a wall when abstract concepts are introduced. Certainconcepts fundamental to the study of linear algebra (such as linearindependence, vector space, and linear transformations) require time toassimilate ― and students' understanding of them is vital. <p></p></span></p> <p style="background:white"><span><span> </span> <p></p></span></p> <p style="background:white"><span>Lay, Lay, and McDonald make theseconcepts more accessible by introducing them early in a familiar, concrete </span><span>ℝ</span><i>^{<span>n</span>}</i><span> setting, developing them gradually, and returning to themthroughout the text so that students can grasp them when they are discussed inthe abstract. The <b>6th Edition </b>offers exciting new material, examples,and online resources, along with new topics, vignettes, and applications. <p></p></span></p> <p> <p>   </p></p>
