Anyone know of a par excellence text on Linear algebra that a physics student could get?

I don't really know if I am honest. Most book called something like "mathematical methods of physics" contain most of the linear algebra usually needed.

 

Now and again more abstract notions from abstract algebra are needed, but I tend to just use Wiki as a starting place.

 

One of the best books for an introduction to mathematical physics is Hassani. It contains a little bit about almost all the main tools is mathematical physics.

A friend of mine recommended me this and he said it's amazing. I haven't had time to read it yet though, but take a look at it. It's an automatic download link! I hope it'll be useful to you!
