I'm starting the fast.ai courses as a recent stat grad looking to expand my knowledge. Heard many good testimonials. Besides that, I think Andrew Ng's Coursera offerings - intro to ML and the newer NN specialization - are great first steps. Personally I have a hard time learning from videos, so I refer to my copy of Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Bishop. If you want a linear algebra text, I enjoy Strang's Introduction to Linear Algebra
