Also available with MyLab® Math MyLab is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student. This book has its permanent place on my work desk alongside Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: With Applications to Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering by Steven H.

Throughout the book, the theory is motivated and reinforced by genuine applications, allowing pure mathematicians to teach applied mathematics.The book revisits those concepts throughout, ensuring you do not become overwhelmed when abstract concepts are introduced, as you progress with your learning. In 1994, he was given one of the Mathematical Association of America’s Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics. The applications cover many areas of science, business, and engineering, with a lot of dynamical systems examples.

However, a good textbook should be self-evident, unlike Gilbert Strang's which requires you to go through MIT videos. The first chapter discusses linear equations in linear algebra, introducing the book's concepts (1), which takes up the first 100 pages or so.This was my first major text in linear algebra, although I already knew some basic properties of matrices. David 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. He has made many contributions to mathematics education, including publishing seven mathematics textbooks and one monograph. The author presents the topics in a traditional course, yet offers lectures as well as lab exercises on simulated and empirical data sets.
