| + | <blockquote>Linear algebra gives you mini-spreadsheets for your math equations. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We can take a table of data (a matrix) and create updated tables from the original. It’s the power of a spreadsheet written as an equation. | ||

| + | * A great introduction is [[https://betterexplained.com/articles/linear-algebra-guide/|An Intuitive Guide to Linear Algebra]] by Kalid Azad | ||
| + | * For a quick introduction, see https://minireference.com/static/tutorials/linear_algebra_in_4_pages.pdf | ||
| + | * and http://www.cns.nyu.edu/~eero/NOTES/geomLinAlg.pdf which explains really nicely many linear algebra in geometric terms. | ||
| + | * For a nice guide, see [[https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/self-study-algebra-linear-algebra|How to Self-study Algebra: Linear Algebra ]] | ||

| + | |||
| + | Good books are: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Linear Algebra Done Right by Sheldon Axler - despite the title a great book. | ||
| + | * [[http://www.math.brown.edu/~treil/papers/LADW/LADW.html|Linear Algebra Done Wrong]] by Treil - even better than Linear Algebra done Right. | ||
| + | * [[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. | ||
