Connect with us to learn more. David C. Lay holds a B. David Lay has been an educator and research mathematician since , 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 published more than 30 research articles on functional analysis and linear algebra. Lay is also a coauthor of several mathematics texts, including Introduction to Functional Analysis with Angus E. Taylor, Calculus and Its Applications , with L. Goldstein and D. Carlson, C. Johnson, and A. David Lay has received four university awards for teaching excellence, including, in , the title of Distinguished Scholar—Teacher of the University of Maryland.

In , Aurora University conferred on him the Outstanding Alumnus award. Since , he has served several terms on the national board of the Association of Christians in the Mathematical Sciences. Steven R. Lay began his teaching career at Aurora University Illinois in , after earning an M. His career in mathematics was interrupted for eight years while serving as a missionary in Japan. Upon his return to the States in , he joined the mathematics faculty at Lee University Tennessee and has been there ever since.

Since then he has supported his brother David in refining and expanding the scope of this popular linear algebra text, including writing most of Chapters 8 and 9. Steven is also the author of three college-level mathematics texts: Convex Sets and Their Applications, Analysis with an Introduction to Proof , and Principles of Algebra.

He and David, and their father, Dr. Clark Lay, are all distinguished mathematicians, and in they jointly received the Outstanding Alumnus award from their alma mater, Aurora University. Judi J. McDonald joins the authorship team after working closely with David on the fourth edition. She holds a B. She is currently a professor at Washington State University. She has been an educator and research mathematician since the early 90s.

She has more than 35 publications in linear algebra research journals. Cloth Bound with Access Card. We're sorry! We don't recognize your username or password. Please try again.

Lay, Lee University Judi J. McDonald, Washington State University. Availability This title is out of print. Description For courses in linear algebra. Personalize learning with MyMathLab MyMathLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results.

Online homework exercises provide instantaneous feedback and support. This system works particularly well for computationally-based skills. Instructors have the flexibility to use computer-graded, online human-graded, or paper-based exercises to help develop more conceptually-based skills. Students can interact with figures and experiment with matrices by looking at numerous examples.

Interactive figures bring the geometry of linear algebra to life. Using the Wolfram CDF Player, students can manipulate figures and experiment with matrices by looking at numerous examples. These figures are available within the eBook and as separate files for ease of use during lecture. About the Textbook Early introduction of key concepts: Fundamental ideas of linear algebra are introduced within the first seven lectures, in the concrete setting of R n , then gradually examined from different points of view.

Later, generalizations of these concepts appear as natural extensions of familiar ideas. Their use enhances the geometric flavor of the text. In Chapter 1, for instance, linear transformations provide a dynamic and graphical view of matrix-vector multiplication. Orthogonality and Least-Squares Problems receive more comprehensive treatments than is commonly found in beginning texts because orthogonality plays such an important role in computer calculations and numerical linear algebra and because inconsistent linear systems arise so often in practical work.

Eigenvalues appear fairly early in the text , in Chapters 5 and 7. Because this material is spread over several weeks, students have more time to absorb and to review these critical concepts.

MyMathLab is not a self-paced technology and should only be purchased when required by an instructor. However, when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a 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. This text makes these concepts more accessible by introducing them early in a familiar, concrete Rn setting, developing them gradually, and returning to them throughout the text so that when they are discussed in the abstract, students are readily able to understand. The third edition was, for the longest time, considered the best, significantly better than the first two editions, and was largely loved by more people than the "main competitor," the book by Dr.

Then came the "updated 3rd edition" and 4th editions, and I don't know what Dr.
