-  * No bullshit guide to linear algebra by Ivan Savov+  * [[https://​minireference.com/​|No bullshit guide to linear algebra]] by Ivan Savov 
 +  * Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach by John H. Hubbard and Barbara Burke Hubbard - Extremely student friendly, lots of margin notes that talk about the "​soft"​ stuff that's so crucial to the actual practice of math. Reading just the margins jumps your mathematical maturity by 2 years.
