But when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a brick wall. Instructors seem to agree that certain concepts (such as linear independence, spanning, subspace, vector space, and linear transformations), are not easily understood, and require time to assimilate. Since they are fundamental to the study of linear algebra, students' understanding of these concepts is vital to their mastery of the subject. David Lay introduces these concepts early in a familiar, concrete Rn setting, develops them gradually, and returns to them again and again throughout the text so that when discussed in the abstract, these concepts are more accessible. NEW! MyMathLab is now available for this text. The course features hundreds of assignable homework exercises plus the complete eBook, in addition to its wide range of tutorial and assessment tools that make it easy to manage your course online.

Their examples illuminate the relationship of modernism to alienation and insularity'--Provided by publisher.

Modernism as a global phenomenon is the focus of the essays gathered in this book. The term 'geomodernisms' indicates their subjects' continuity with and divergence from commonly understood notions of modernism. The contributors consider modernism as it was expressed in the non-Western world; the contradictions at the heart of modernization (in revolutionary and nationalist settings, and with respect to race and nativism); and modernism's imagined geographies, 'pyschogeographies' of distance and desire as viewed by the subaltern, the caste-bound, the racially mixed, the gender-determined.Laura Doyle is Associate Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
