[–] joshux 9y ago ↗ Coding the Matrix: Linear Algebra through Applications to Computer Sciencefor more theoretical I'm planning to read: Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach
[–] k__ 9y ago ↗ 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.
