  If you're interested in the numerical side, I'd recommend "Numerical Linear Algebra", by Trefethen and Bau.

  "Linear Algebra Done Right": http://linear.axler.net/ http://linear.axler.net/ From a math perspective some definitions could be "cleaner" but as a first/second round it gives a very good perspective on linear algebra. Some of the good stuff: * The general theme is "direct sum decomposition". * Determinants are delayed as much as possible. (There are many good reasons to do this.) * Eigenvalues are not computed using the characteristic polynomial but the other way around; This reflects the algorithmic side: For performance reasons a computer usually calculates the char.polynomial using the eigenvalues and not by using determinants.

  Pick up a copy of Linear Algebra Done Right and start working through it. Edit: I see someone else linked to it in this comment thread.
