Linear Algebra and Its Applications: Study Guide

by David C. Lay

The Study Guide is based on David Lay's many years in the classroom, and has been updated so students can take full advantage of the new projects and data in the Updated Second Edition of the text. This guide gives the worked-out solutions to model problems that correspond with exercises in the text, along with study tips, hints to students, instructions for using MATLAB along with the text, additional MATLAB exercises, and expanded coverage of some text material. Maple and Mathematica appendices have been added, and the TI appendix has been updated to include coverage of the TI-86.

I have been disappointed with most study guides, not this one. This is exactly what you expect your study guide to do. It more plainly explains each section and then helps you out with ever third odd problem.

(calculus knowledge not required, but recommended)

Really enjoy this book.

I even lost my old version and couldn't go without it and bought another because I tend to use this a ton!

For first time learners and or reference.

If you ever want to model basic things for graphics or physics, then the tools learned from this book is essential (emphasis on ESSENTIAL).

Learning to work with systems of equations and vectors are one of the most satisfying things to do when building real life applications.

Highly recommended!

Generally a pretty good explanation of the problems in the accompanying Linear Algebra and Its Applications Third Edition.

This study guide did indeed guide me through my study of Linear Algebra. Not only did it present detailed solutions to the textbook exercises; it also provided chapter summaries and useful notes.
