Speaking of short tutorials on linear algebra, you should check out this one I wrote last year. It's more of a "prepare for an exam" document, but it gets to the core idea of matrix-vector product serving as a way to "implement" linear transformations: https://minireference.com/static/tutorials/linear_algebra_in...

I'm personally fine with using the computer as a "magic box" to do all the calculations, but it's important to have a geomtrical intuition about the operations. This is another short tutorial that does a good job at conveying the geometrical aspects of linear algebra: http://www.cns.nyu.edu/~eero/NOTES/geomLinAlg.pdf

For those interested in learning LA in full detail, you can check out my upcoming book which covers all the essential material and discusses lots of applications, including the homogenous coordinates used in computer graphics: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSguide2LA_previ...

I skimmed through the book preview, and it looks very nice. Though I already have a few books on LA, I wouldn't mind having yours on my bookshelf too... any ETA on when it's available for purchase? Actually I'm planning to quit my job and go study mathematics starting next semester (if I can afford it...) so it might come in handy.

The editor is doing a final pass through it this summer, so the first print version will be ready for August. But, when I say August, it probably means September ;)

The eBook version has been ready for a while now, and it gets constantly updated. I can also print you a one-off copy of the current version if you need it sooner.

Seems wonderful book. Is there an epub version?

The ePub and mobi versions are in the works (using softcover + polytexnic), but I'll need to tweak the build script some more. ETA July, but can be sooner if you there is popular demand...
