Wish I could help, good luck!
I sometimes ask math questions on Yahoo! Answers, I get quick, if not always useful, help there.

Can you afford to pay for math tutoring on the Internet? There is a very good website that offers tutoring to anyone who needs tutoring in any subject...http://www.tutorvista.com

Check it out if you are interested...

I could if you post in this thread. Though I recommend getting your hands on the Schaum's books on it, including the 3000 problems and matrix operations books.

Might be worth asking on the student room as well - they have a thriving maths forum full of Oxbridge students...

Well, I personally spend hours poring through the math pages on the Wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_algebra is laid out nicely, with lots of cross-referenced terms and such.

Been giving myself a full refresher in Calculus myself.


Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_li ... bra_topics

Myself, I found linear algebra easier after I had gotten accustomed to dealing with the matrix formulations, the connections made more sense afterwards for me anyway.

Though, I imagine if you didn't come into math from physics, this might be more counterintuitive for you, Relativity is full of matrix/vector/tensor/spaces and their properties.
