In our department we do not like our current linear algebra book and so we would want to find a better book. This is for the first course in linear algebra and the title of the course is Elementary Linear Algebra. The book should have at least the following things

-- An online homework system -- A good emphasis on proofs in the exercises -- Should introduce linear transformations earlier -- Some applications

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help

    $\begingroup$ @NateEldredge But I thought that some questions relating to mathematical pedagogy (or "teaching maths in the trenches:) are on topic here? I am not sure about the present question $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Check David Lay's "Linear algebra and its applications" taught with MyMathLab (online hw system). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I agree with @YemonChoi -- this kind of question has been honored in the past without controversy. It's the type of question that professional mathematicians ask of one another. Perhaps a meta should be opened? $\endgroup$
