I am currently a high-school sophomore taking AP Calculus AB, and I am doing well. I also love mathematics and want to learn more about what is to come. I am looking for a good introductory text to linear algebra, something similar to the calculus book A Tour of the Calculus by David Berlinski, which I read before taking calculus. I am not going to rigorously study anything (do problem sets, etc.) but I am looking for something that has a good blend of theoretical elements and practical techniques. Any recommendations? I am considering Introduction to Linear Algebra by Gilbert Strang and Linear Algebra Done Right by Sheldon Axler.

2The two books you mentioned are good. You might also take a look at Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra -- Vectors, Matrices, and Least Squares by Boyd and Vandenberghe. – littleO Oct 27 '21 at 04:52
