What should I learn if I'm interested in learning linear algebra?

3Blue1Brown has a great video intro series on the topic. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw/vid...

I made notes some time ago that cover the linear algebra needed for Quantum Mechanics in some details and then go on to introduce basic QM at the end:

Your question is rather tautological... You can pick a text book or even an online tutorial.

Understanding diagonalization (and more generally, spectral theory), scalar products, and norms would be a great start. Then you can pick any quantum information textbook.

algebra?

But what should I learn if I'm interested in learning algebra?

N.B. My maturity level is normally only a half step above the average 12-year-old. I can play this game all day ;)
