Ask HN: Intro to Linear Algebra?

10 points·andrewparker··3 comments

I'm excited about Andrew Ng's upcoming Machine Learning class, but I know from the past YouTube videos that Andrew Ng has posted the course will be heavily dependent on strong knowledge of Linear Algebra.

I took Linear Algebra in college, but I don't remember any of it now 9 years later. What is your favorite concise primer/refresher on Linear Algebra?

Someone else recommend the Khan Academy lectures [1], and I was thinking about using those.

Glibert Strang's Linear Algebra and its Applications is a beautifully written concise introduction to linear algebra.
