Speaking of books, my No bullshit guide to linear algebra is almost ready. Anyone taking a linear algebra class with $15 in their pocket should sign up for the prerelease: http://bit.ly/18xPbs9 It starts from the basics and gets to quantum mechanics by then end ;) All in just 250pp on 5½[in] x 8½[in] paper.

You can check out a 4 page tutorial of material extracted from the book: http://minireference.com/blog/linear-algebra-tutorial/
