I want to take some courses that involve heavy math, so I have been learning maths on the khan academy site: precalculus, calculus, statistics etc. But one fundamental area of maths the khan academy site doesn't have is a course on linear algebra. I really need to learn and use linear algebra in my work.
Can anyone point me to an online resource for learning linear algebra that is as good and concise as the khan academy site? I would love any help.
thanks

Here.
 
You can find some free textbooks here and here. I've been using "Linear Algebra with Applications" by Keith Nicholson. It's a relatively standard introductory textbook with lots of exercises and slides for each topic (you may have to request slides from the publisher). A more advanced textbook (though it also covers the material from the beginning) is "Linear Algebra Done Wrong" by Sergei Treil.
 
Thanks. Appreciate your help
 
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
