Where do i start? i want to read the study material given by my college and also supplement that with a textbook
I have enrolled for a distance learning progaramme from IGNOU(big mistake!).There is a paper on linear algebra.The university gives a study material which i find boring. i recently bought Gilbert Strang's linear algebra book. Any other good sources online?
i have ordered introduction to linear algebra by gilbert strang.But i saw it on google books and found it to be touching only the basics.Can anyone recommend anymore books?
