Thank you for the response. Would reading Calculus to Epps then to some linear algebra & algorithms be most appropriate in a linear progression? Or would I be able to read some books concurrently?
For linear algebra, it depends heavily on your choice of book. To read Hefferon or (even more so) Axler, you'll want to have seen a fair amount of mathematical formalism, and read through some proofs. Knop is probably a good place to learn mathematical formalism; if you approach it with limited background it will be slow going but you'll learn a lot.
