That’s a book, not a library. Here’s where it stands

Introduction to Linear Algebra

Gilbert Strang (Wellesley-Cambridge Press) · Mathematics

Paid textbook

Sold by Wellesley-Cambridge Press and not free, though Strang's MIT 18.06 course materials and video lectures that go with it are free on MIT OpenCourseWare.

Lawful ways to read it

  1. Watch the matching 18.06 lectures and problem sets free on MIT OpenCourseWare
  2. Check your university library's print or e-book copy
  3. Request an interlibrary loan
  4. Buy from Wellesley-Cambridge Press or a bookseller
  5. Buy a used earlier edition second-hand

Open book, same course

Linear Algebra (fourth edition)

Jim Hefferon, Saint Michael's College

Free and openly licensed with full solutions, but it is more proof-led and less applied than Strang, and does not follow his chapter order.
