I really enjoyed learning from this book. Not beeing a keen reader I was very impressed with the conciseness and clarity of the text. There were many clear examples in the text. I found the question at the end of each chapter helpful for reviewing the new information.
What I would have liked to see was the answers to the odd numbered multiple choice questions at the end of the book. And perhaps a discussion sumary of the main points at the end of each chapter.
Over all a very impressive book.

Dr. Lay has put out a quality textbook, worthy of a read as well as a series of challenging questions. As an undergraduate physics student at Queen's University, it is often frustrating when the course materials are lacking in study content. This is not the case with this book. The only real drawback to this textbook is the limitation of the study guide that accompanies the book. When preparing for exams, it is often best to review extra problem that were not assigned throughout the year, since it is not possible to confer with the professor or the TA with regards to every question. One must complete this task independently. Dr. Lay's student guide an excellent reference pertaining to the problems that it contains solutions for, however some the challenging study questions require a more in depth analysis than is provided. On the whole this textbook is worth while reference and definitely worth considering for and undergraduate course in linear algebra.

Because Dr. Lay's book is so well written, linear algebra turned out to be the easiest course I took in my undergraduate work.
Lay's book is clear, concise, and overall very well-done. His writing is great; he explains each derivation. The problems he sticks in at the end of the chapter to check your understanding are really nice. The study guide is also very helpful.
I wish there were more textbooks like this one.

Review of Linear Algebra and its Applications by D.C. Lay
The most obvious benefit of this particular book is its size. At fewer than five hundred pages it is a comparatively light book. Read more

Plain English makes Linear Algebra easier to understand

Poor book
Not a good text. Even with the accompanying study guide most of the problems are only briefly explained. Read more
