Nicholson Linear Algebra 6e introduces the general idea of Linear Algebra much earlier than the competition keeping with the same rigorous and concise approach to linear algebra. Along with the many diagrams and examples that help students visualize, the 6e also keeps with the continuous introduction of concepts. #1 advantage is in Chap 5 known as the "bridging chapter" helps stop students from "hitting the wall" when abstract vector spaces are introduced in chap 6.

New to this Edition
Chapter 5: This chapter is known as the "bridging chapter." It allows difficult concepts like subspaces, spanning, independence, and dimension to be assimilated first in the concrete context of Rn, which stops students from "hitting the wall" when abstract vector spaces are introduced in Chapter 6.
Clear, concise writing style: Nicholson is known for his rigorous, concise approach to Linear Algebra. The book doesn't overcomplicate topics by using descriptive prose. There are many diagrams and examples to help students visualize. (Reviewers stated this as an advantage over Anton.)
iStudy: Nicholson istudy will include student solutions manual, extra applications, true–false and multiple choice quizzes.. Also, an audio glossary and e-professor will help students understand the main concepts when working through applications.
Applications: Reviewers state the type, range, and number of applications is one of Nicholson’s strengths.
