Linear Algebra for ML

Question

You guys know any TEXTBOOK that teaches linear algebra in a """""friendly"""""" way? (I'm still on highschool).

Answer 1

You actually do plenty of linear algebra in highschool so maybe checking out maths books from later years is a nice way to get started.
I've been out of highschool for quite some time so I can't say how accessible it is to a highschooler (depends on which year you are in I guess), but MIT has an online course on linalg: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010/
They work with Strang's "Introduction to Linear Algebra" which has tons of examples and problems to work through.
I know you asked for a book, but 3blue1brown's video series on linalg on youtube is really great and intuitive (the calculus one is meh). Highly recommended as an intro! The visuals are very nice.
I don't really know about ML-specific maths texts but I do know that google has a course on ML: https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/crash-course/ml-intro
I haven't done it myself though so I can't really say anything about it.

Answer 2

I have already readed my math books, but would matrix operations (add, sub, mult, transpose, and those especials matrices) be enough?

Answer 3

That's a good foundation :) You can spend years on linalg but if you know what a matrix does to a vector you can probably try hopping into ML.
