 +<​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 ]]

 +  * [[http://​immersivemath.com/​ila/​index.html|immersive linear algebra]] by J. Ström, K. Åström, and T. Akenine-Möller (free online book) 
 +  * [[https://​m.youtube.com/​watch?​v=kjBOesZCoqc|Essence of Linear Algebra]] video mini-series 
 + 
 +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.

 +A nice video introduction is
