Lay, "Linear Algebra" is good and accessible, using graphical examples. But it costs forty bucks and is a university textbook so you might have to visit your city's campus's bookstore for it. And maybe win a lottery first. :) As for on the internet, I dunno, but try a web search for matrices, linear algebra, etc. Also look at univwersity home pages for this sort of thing. If you still can't find any such resource, mail me in a few weeks and maybe in a few more weeks I can make a website with an algebra tutorial. :) -- .*.
