Hello,
It's that time of year when members of my department start having heated
discussions about textbook choices for next year. Although there are many
nice linear algebra texts available it seems that we will be choosing between
David Lay's "Linear Algebra with Applications" and Anton's "Elementary
Linear Algebra" (not his more recent "Contemporary Linear Algebra").
Does anyone have any opinions on the pros and cons of these texts. Both
are popular and have been around for a while but they take quite different
approaches to the material.
Thanks
D Sevee
