For courses in Linear Algebra. Fosters the concepts and
skillsneeded for future careers Linear Algebra and ItsApplications
offers a modern elementary introduction with broad,
relevantapplications. With traditional texts, the early stages of
the course arerelatively easy as material is presented in a
familiar, concrete setting, butstudents often hit a wall when
abstract concepts are introduced. Certainconcepts fundamental to
the study of linear algebra (such as linearindependence, vector
space, and linear transformations) require time toassimilate - and
students' understanding of them is vital. Lay, Lay, and McDonald
make theseconcepts more accessible by introducing them early in a
familiar, concrete n setting, developing them gradually, and
returning to themthroughout the text so that students can grasp
them when they are discussed inthe abstract. The 6th Edition offers
exciting new material, examples,and online resources, along with
new topics, vignettes, and applications.

Provocative, suspenseful, and dangerously sensual, Jane tells
the story of a young woman's need to be loved, her wish to be
wanted. Perplexed by a world that treats her as an outsider?a girl
with foolish, impudent desires?she becomes that girl, using her
youth and sexuality to attract and repel. Yearning to be older, to
be an adult, she dances at the fringes of power and control in her
relationship, ultimately testing notions of perpetrator and victim.
Often frightening in its powerful mixture of fantasy and reality,
"Jane" skillfully documents the impressionability of a young woman,
and flirts with alternate interpretations of sexuality and desire
in a difficult, complicated age. "Jane" is a unique co-publication
with The Mercury Press of Toronto. Shortlisted, Rogers
Communications Writer's Trust Prize for Fiction
