Linear Algebra
David Cherney, Tom Denton, & Andrew Waldron · University of California, Davis
Linear algebra is the study of vectors and linear transformations. This text is suitable for a sophomore level linear algebra course taught in about twenty-five lectures. It is designed both for engineering and science majors, but has enough abstraction to be useful for potential math majors.

Neural Networks and Deep Learning
Michael Nielson · Y Combinator Research
Neural networks are one of the most beautiful programming paradigms ever invented. In the conventional approach to programming, we tell the computer what to do, breaking big problems up into many small, precisely defined tasks that the computer can easily perform. By contrast, in a neural network we don't tell the computer how to solve our problem. Instead, it learns from observational data, figuring out its own solution to the problem at hand.
