Are there any resources consisting of a collection of problems on linear algebra for students to practice? I am looking for good interesting problems which test students’ understanding. These questions or examples should be for teaching rather than just testing. The level of difficulty is first year undergraduate.

    It is a good idea you browse some of the questions here (math.stackexchange) which are tagged linear algebra. –  Mar 17 '13 at 11:40

If you are looking for graduate level (doesn't sound like it), you can look at this MSE answer.

For undergraduate, there are several book recommendations:

    • 3,000 Solved Problems in Linear Algebra by Seymour Lipschutz

    • Schaum's Outline of Linear Algebra, 5th Edition (Schaum's Outlines) Seymour Lipschutz, Marc Lipson

    • Linear Algebra: Challenging Problems for Students (Johns Hopkins Studies in the Mathematical Sciences) by Fuzhen Zhang (Author)

    • Linear Algebra Problem Solver (REA) The Editors of REA (Author)

    • Elementary Linear Algebra - K. Matthews, which is free.

    • Too many other books to list (the ones above are probably what you are looking for and very good prices).

  • Other MSE book requests links (see right pane of this page) and search for those.

Additional ideas:

  • Open Courseware at places like MIT and other international universities (lectures and notes).

  • Browse your college library and look through the books and see if there are other examples that fit the style of writing/examples/problems you like.

  • The linear algebra area of Khan Academy.
