Taking linear algebra next semester and I've got a month off for break, can anyone recommend ways to learn as much of it as I can in the next month (need an A)? I've already taken multivariable and diffeqs if that matters at all

is it the real deal? because if you've done multivar calc and DEs already you know the fake "linear algebra" already.
for the real deal, Hoffman & Kunze is my favorite book. very well written, easy to follow. do the first chapters and your class will be much easier.

the course description reads:
>Vector spaces, linear transformations, matrices, systems of linear equations, bases, projections, rotations, determinants, and inner products. Applications may include differential equations, difference equations, least squares approximations, and models in economics and in biological and physical sciences.
Does this fit your idea of "real deal"

Your first linear algebra class should be really easy, don't worry about it too much. For me, pretty much every problem was more or less bab tier matrix reduction. I would consider diff eqs to be much more of a bitch to get through than linear algebra

Seems like a matrix algebra class. Get a cheapo Dover book:
