Does anyone know of any sites with a good general overview of linear algebra?

In summary, Carlos is looking for additional resources to help him prepare for his first linear algebra midterm. He has already completed all the assigned homework problems, but still feels unsure about the material. He prefers websites with examples and videos. Another person suggests checking out the MIT OpenCourseWare website, which Carlos agrees looks great. They joke about the focus on examples in the course, which is exactly what Carlos was hoping for.

I have my first midterm in 1st year linear algebra coming up, and I've done all the homework problems with regards to solving linear systems and matrices. I still feel uncomfortable with the material though, despite having done all the homework. Any good (free) sites that have a good general overview of the basic concepts? I like examples and videos best.

Thanks in advance,
Carlos

that looks great, thanks very much.

haha, he says "the whole semester is going to be examples, and then what's going on with the examples". that's pretty much exactly what i was looking for.
