Answer 8

Not even mit ocw?!

Answer 9

Libraries usually have good books on all of that. But the flutterers charge you late fees

Answer 10

In my school library.. there are n books called linear algebra, I don't know which ones to pick!!

Answer 11

Well, Schaum's are books. Those websites serve as alternative options if one chooses to not spend the money or have the funds to purchase the books readily. I have more websites, but those I listed are just a few of the ones I usually recommend to people.
SOSmath has some good online help for linear algebra (which by the way was a very tough. very abstract course!)
