The best book to start learning Linear Algebra depends on your level of mathematical background and your learning style. Some popular options include "Linear Algebra Done Right" by Sheldon Axler, "Introduction to Linear Algebra" by Gilbert Strang, and "Linear Algebra" by Serge Lang.
While a strong background in math can be helpful, it is not necessary to understand Linear Algebra. Many books on the subject are designed for beginners and assume little to no prior knowledge. However, a basic understanding of algebra and geometry is recommended.
A Linear Algebra starter book typically covers topics such as vector spaces, matrices, determinants, systems of linear equations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and linear transformations. Some books may also include applications of Linear Algebra in fields such as physics, computer science, and economics.
Yes, there are many online resources that can supplement a Linear Algebra starter book. These include video lectures, practice problems, interactive tutorials, and online courses. Some popular options include Khan Academy, MIT OpenCourseWare, and Coursera.
The time it takes to complete a Linear Algebra starter book can vary depending on individual learning pace and the depth of the material covered. Some books may take a few weeks to complete, while others may take several months. It is important to work at your own pace and ensure a thorough understanding of the material before moving on to more advanced topics.
