I've been wanting to learn linear algebra. I had some exposure in college along with my calc classes, but never really understood it fundamentally. Like it was mentioned, I mostly did matrix transforms but didn't realize fundamentally grasp.

I started doing LA on Khan academy, and checked out Linear Algebra Done Right. LADR was a little too much into the deep end for me. KA seemed to be good. One nice thing about KA is that when I didn't quite remember something (i.e. how exactly to multiply a matrix) I could just go to an earlier pre-LA lesson, pick it up, and then go back to LA where I left off. I'm a few lessons in.

What do you all recommend for someone like me?



If you want to learn LA by coding, coding the matrix by philip klein is a really good book. He even has his Coursera lecture videos (not available on coursera anymore last I checked) up on his website.
