Resources for learning eigenvectors and linear differential equations in ~ 24 hours

Hi guys, in my college we have this "Independent Study" component for the Intro Linear Algebra class. Basically, I have to solve 4 questions that go beyond what was covered in class. Sadly, being the procrastinator I am, I haven't looked at it until now and the assignment is due Friday. The questions look simple and non-conceptual.

So far, I have a very strong understanding of:

• Gaussian Elimination
• Inverses using adjoints
• Finding determinants
• Orthogonality
• Cross Product

Was taught a little bit of:

• Subspaces
• Linear Independence
• Basis

I've also already taken single variable, differential and integral calculus courses.

So now in the next 24 hours I have, what resources (online) would help me the most to just be able to solve these 4 questions. Normally, I like to learn something thoroughly but this time it's an exception. I have the Howard Anton "Elementary Linear Algebra 10th Ed. Abridged" Textbook but it doesn't contain these topics. Thanks.

I think that part of the assignment is that you find the necessary resources. We are not here to do your work for you.

Also, this isn't the right forum for schoolwork, that's what the Homework forum is for.

Anton certainly does cover eigenvalues and eigenvector. Chapter 5 is titled "Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors"! Have you ever actually opened the book?
