<p>I'm taking Independent Study in math next year. So I basically need Linear Algebra and Differential Equations books that are excellent and suitable for self study. I suppose there's a few people here who have studied the subjects... what books/resources did you use?</p>

<p>Why self study them? Take them at a local college. Almost every College Math Textbook Is extremely difficult to understand. For example: <a href=“http://www.math.cornell.edu/~bterrell/dn.pdf[/url]”>http://www.math.cornell.edu/~bterrell/dn.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>For Linear Algebra I’d recommend Strang’s Linear Algebra and Its Applications. You can even follow along with his video lectures, all of which are on Youtube and MIT OpenCourseWare.</p>
