What people on Hacker News said
The NO BULLSHIT guide to LINEAR ALGEBRA covers all the standard LA material, and also discusses lots of interesting applications (graphs, graphics, crypto, quantum computing).
I put a lot of effort into making them with an "easy ramp up" so anyone with basic math background can pick up.
The textbook racket and bad quality of explanations is precisely why I started a publishing company: we make science textbooks that don't suck.
