<p>What is the best book for teaching yoruself linear algebra. </p>
<p>I have heard good things about Linear Algebra Done Right. I was planning on using MIT's opencourseware for the videos but I dont know how easy it is to mix and match. </p>
<p>Has anyone used MIT opencourseware before?</p>
<p>I ended up taking a class. Linear Algebra is conceptually difficult and will take a long time. Even though you are using a book, your best shot is to take a class.</p>
<p>OCW might be a substitute though. May I ask, why are you trying to teach yourself Linear Algebra?</p>
<p>I have an enormous amount of time on my hands now that i got into college early and I really like learning new math and there is no hs class, college/community class that I can find.</p>
<p>Cool. Ya, OCW is great for self studying. Strang is a brilliant mathematician and professor. I wish you good luck.</p>

<p>Great link. Was just watching his proof of the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality.</p>
<p>Very clear and straightforward.</p>
<p>Don’t teach yourself from a book! Calculus/Multivariable Calc/Differential Equations are subjects that require little to no thought just a good memory. Linear Algebra is the first math course that you truly have to understand concepts rather than mere methods. OCW is helpful but honestly your best bet would be to find look for a class or better yet a “tutor”.</p>
