Hello,

I have been reading Linear Algebra mostly from the web. But still can anybody suggest me any free resource for a e-book or a hard copy book on Linear Algebra.

On the web, amazon.com, there are so many books available, but I am looking for something which is a step by step guide, which would teach me from the basic elementary level and making me understand the complications also.

Waiting for repose.

My two favorite resources when I took linear algebra in college were:

MIT OCW, which has tests, homework and very good lectures by Gilbert Strang.

Paul Dawkins, great explanations and many worked problems.
