The textbook for the fall will be Linear Algebra and its Applications (fourth edition) by David C. Lay (Pearson/Addison Wesley, 2012, ISBN-10: 0321385179, ISBN-13: 9780321385178). This is the same textbook used in recent semesters at Clarkson but the latest edition. You must have this edition--while the material in previous editions is similar, the exercises are substantially different.
Also recommended is the Study Guide, which is a 349-page book of additional information that many students find helpful: more detailed problem solutions, comments on the reading, hints about how to simplify some of the calculations, answers (almost!) to the true/false questions (which will play an important role in the class--in homework, quizzes, and exams), reviews of all of the key concepts, etc. I haven't seen the new edition yet, but the one for the previous edition (which was on a CD) was well done and useful. This will be bundled with the textbook at the University Bookstore at minimal extra cost ($3.50 more than what they would charge for the textbook alone).
