Awesome! I have some Khan Academy courses queued up to learn linear algebra, but this is more targeted and useful.

- paulgb 9y agoI'd highly recommend this set of videos: https://youtu.be/kjBOesZCoqc https://youtu.be/kjBOesZCoqc
- brudgers 9y agoAlso Gilbert Strang's lectures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK3O402wf1c&list=PL49CF3715CB9EF31D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK3O402wf1c&list=PL49CF3715C...
- nerdponx 9y agoThe best intro to linear algebra, bar none, is the MIT OpenCourseware Intro to Linear Algebra, recordings of a course taught in 2005 by Prof. Gilbert Strang: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010/index.htm https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06-linear-algebra...
- shogunmike 9y agoIndeed - I recommended Strang's book in this article and the previous one.
- xrange 9y agoThe Strang book: "Introduction to Linear Algebra" does seem to have quite a few "high quality" 1-star reviews. They mostly seem to cluster around this book not being good for a linear algebra introduction, for someone new to the field. Typical comments: "It seems the reviewers who think this book is wonderful for non-math majors are math majors!" https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Linear-Algebra-Gilbert-Strang/product-reviews/0980232775/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_paging_btm_next_2?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews&pageNumber=2#reviews-filter-bar https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Linear-Algebra-Gilbert-S... ...I of course expect that any popular book will have 1 star reviews, especially by people who had a hard time with the material. Anyone have thoughts whether the Strang book is better as a supplement to other texts in coming up to speed on Linear Algebra? Other book recommendations?
