Right now I'm taking a "linear algebra for engineers" and it's mostly straight forward computation.

How do I get a deeper understanding of linear algebra? Any good resources.

By not becoming an engineer, for one.

Shilov + Axler + Pinter (set and abstract algebra) enjoy

>> No.8394655

>>8394561
Dummit & Foote, read up to Chapter 15 I think it is.

Then from there check out Lang, there's some stuff towards the second half on linear algebra.

In what direction?
Theory: Shilov, Hoffman & Kunze, Lax, Roman
Application: Meyer, Trefethen & Bau, Golub, Horn

Standard references for mathfags are Hoffman and Kunze and Insel et al. For learning the stuff, I've heard good things about Gilbert Strang's books, and I appreciate the guy for doing some good research in related areas.

I didn't like Strang's book. Too chatty. His lectures are God-tier though.

OP, if you want to learn linear algebra, watch Gilbert Strang's MIT OCW lectures.

Nice meme

This.
I used Shilov. It's a little dense and about at a baby rudin level of sophistication, so it can be hard if you have no previous rigorous math experience. A friendlier alternative for theory is Axler

Not many people mention this book but it's quite good: http://joshua.smcvt.edu/linearalgebra/book.pdf

Unlike some other mathematics, Linear Algebra doesn't really have a standard text. But the one I posted is really rigorous.

Watch that shit right now. It's hands down the greatest visualization of the essence of what linear algebra is. Watch it. Watching it right now. Do it.

Youre gonna become an enginner, so the class is teaching you only what you'll need. Take a regular Linear Algebra class if you want a more indepth look.
