Teach Yourself Linear Algebra in a Day and a Half...

35 lectures on linear algebra from MIT Professor Gilbert Strang.  Start with "The Geometry of Linear Equations" and end with "Final Course Review."  I am on lecture two: "Elimination with Matrices."  I had two course on linear algebra as an undergrad and the subject played a starring role in my MSc.  I am prepping for TAing Quantitative Methods courses this year, and I am finding these lectures to be a nice refresh...

  1. Sergei Treil's Linear Algebra Done Wrong is also very good:
