Coding the Matrix: Linear Algebra through Applications to Computer Science

for more theoretical I'm planning to read: Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach

There are:

1. Elementary Linear Algebra by Howard Anton, https://www.amazon.com/Elementary-Linear-Algebra-Howard-Anto...

2. Elementary Linear Algebra: Applications Version by Howard Anton and Chris Rorres, https://www.amazon.com/Elementary-Linear-Algebra-Application...

Check out this video series by 3Blue1Brown: https://youtube.com/#/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2xVF...
Linear Algebra Done Right.
Indeed a great book. The best Math departments that I know also use this book to teach linear algebra.
Elementary Linear Algebra by Ron Larson, https://www.amazon.com/Elementary-Linear-Algebra-Ron-Larson/...

Other books assume you already know what they are talking about.

I didn't get Linear Algebra at university for a long time. Computer Graphics (2D and 3D) helped with this, since I'm a practical learner.
