  • 3Blue1Brown’s - Linear Algebra
    Godlike animations and explanation. This was the beginning of something new and outstanding. Not a substitute for your regular classes, but nobody, and by nobody, I literally mean nobody can give you the visual insights like him.

Books

  • Linear algebra done right - Sheldon Axler
    Classic. Can’t really go wrong with it. Small enough to not intimidate you, yet covers everything necessary. A lot of examples and well-thought explanations.

  • Elementary linear algebra - Howard Anton
    Fatter than Sheldon Axeler’s book. The main reason for its obesity is that it has a lot of solved examples.
