- Linear Algebra Done Wrong by Sergei Treil, a freely available textbook with a different perspective from the course text.
- A First Course in Linear Algebra by Rob Beezer, another freely available linear algebra textbook.
- The Essence of Linear Algebra by 3Blue1Brown, an excellent collection of video lectures that strive to explain the main concepts in linear algebra, illustrated by outstanding graphics and animations. Here's a link to the playlist of the video lectures on YouTube.
- Linear Algebra by Friedberg, Insel, and Spence, a first-rate textbook that emphasizes the connections between the abstract and concrete approaches to the subject. This book is not free, but a copy is on reserve in the Hayden Library.
- MIT OpenCourseWare for the 2013 version of 18.700, taught by David Vogan.
- Down with Determinants! by Axler, his manifesto against the overuse of determinants in linear algebra courses. This article foreshadows his writing of the course text.
SageMath
SageMath Cells
SageMath is a free, open-source mathematics software system that is based on Python. It is intended to be an "open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB." You can download it (for free!) here. You can also run it in the cloud using Cocalc, or run code snippets using SageMathCells.
Here are some useful links for learning and using SageMath:
- You can find a multitude of resources on the SageMath support page.
- Here you can find a searchable index of topics in the SageMath manual. (Using a search engine also works well.)
- You can browse a large collection of SageMath-related questions and answers at ask.sagemath.org. You can also ask questions of your own.
