<p>Looking to get some good recommendations for a linear algebra book. The one assigned for my course (Lay 4th edition) just isn't clicking with me.</p>
<p>If you dont want to burn your book, I will send you my copy and you can douse it with lighter fluid. </p>
<p>Get the old school Lang (yellow hard cover) and Schuams Outlines for Linear Algebra. Enjoy your A</p>

<p>This book is serious although it is presented as a comic book to keep you interested in the subject. Try it, you won’t regret it.</p>
<p>Awesome, thanks so much!</p>
<p>Defranza intro to linear algebra
Overall the textbook is pretty well written. I didn’t find an error in the back of the book answers either when I used it, unliek most math textbooks. There was one section that confused the hell out of me though. I think it was the computer graphics section.</p>
