• Linear Algebra Done Right – 4th Edition

  A lot of people think Gil Strang was that. Certainly his 18.06SC lecture series is fabulous.[1] I really like Sheldon Axler and he has made a series of short videos to accompany the book that I think are wonderful. Very clear and easy to understand, but with a little bit more of the intuition behind the proofs etc. [1] https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL221E2BBF13BECF6C&si=G2XqE-itCFzQt7VE [2]... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• where to learn linear algebra

  Kahn Academy as well as MIT OCW from Prof. Gill Strang are both excellent resources I have used time and time again. There's nothing wrong with it when you want to get started. I emphasize this to note that you will need to pivot to a textbook for some more formal learning. Source: 11 months ago

• Math Prerequisites and some other questions.

  Background - So after a bit of researching through this subreddit, I am currently working my way through Linear Algebra and Probability Theory. I also did a stats course as a part of my undergrad, but dont really recall much from that. Besides these, I've also taken a grad intro to AI course, but as you'd expect it covered basic stuff like search, adversarial games, constraint satisfaction, bayesian inference etc. Source: 11 months ago

• Best place to practice Linear Algebra?

  The MIT OCW by Strang is great. It has problem sets, solutions, and discussion sections in addition to the regular lectures. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What are some of the best university courses available online for free?

  Came here to say this. Go through the actual course methodically though - readings, summaries, problems solutions. It's incredible. Miles ahead of coursera equiv. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06sc-linear-algebra-fall-2011/pages/resource-index/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• homeschool help !!

  You don't say how old she is. There are many programs you can enroll her in BUT if she wants to work at her own pace you can look online for what your state/municipality expects a child to know in each year. You can use workbooks, resources like CK-12 for science and video instruction or Khan Academy. Source: 5 months ago

• IWTL all of maths

  Khan Academy is your best friend, you can also use openstax if you like reading more. Supplement with a quality textbook and video courses once you reach Algebra 1, this site and r/learnmath have good recommendations. And most importantly practice. Source: 6 months ago

• How is this portfolio?

  Khanacademy.org Do a search for "investing" and you'll get dozens of free "courses". Source: 10 months ago

• Learning math from scratch: I don't know where to start.

  Khanacademy.org - seriously - everything from basic integers and counting to advanced calculus - all at whatever pace you need. Source: 10 months ago

• Best 7th grade math textbook?

  However, the math instruction that worked for me (I suddenly had to teach upper level math to expelled students in a self-contained class - and didn't know anything past Alg 1) was khanacademy.org, a free online program. I also learned chemistry and physics when those became required. Source: 10 months ago
