 +<​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.

 +  * 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.
