Best textbook on introductory linear algebra?

Yeah, so, I'm a freshman in physics once again. There's a LOT of linear algebra going on during this term, which I am frankly quite unfamiliar with, and I really, really don't like the assigned textbook, David C. Lay's "Linear Algebra and its Applications". I find it to be cluttered, confusingly written, and just not very interesting. So, I'd like to track down a supplementary text that can help me understand LinAlg on a more fundamental level. Our calculus textbook is awful, too, but I use Spivak's Calculus as a supplement.



I have no problem with the text being technical, "difficult" and mathematical, and I enjoy rigorous and well-explained proofs. I just really want something well-written, rigorous, deep-delving and theoretical, that makes the subject seem interesting.



Does anyone have any suggestions for such textbooks?



Thanks.
