I’m re-visiting linear algebra—I took a course in college, but that was more of a instruction manual on linear algebra problem solving techniques and vocabulary than a look at the overall theory. I’m reading Linear Algebra Done Right, and was wondering if anyone else is interested.
This book starts from the beginning of the subject, assuming no knowledge of linear algebra. The key points is that you are about to immerse yourself in serious mathematics, with an emphasis on your attaining a deep understanding of the definitions, theorems, and proofs.
I’ve done the first two chapters, and I’m not particular about study pace—I haven’t really done enough self-directed studying to know what pace I want or I can do. Roughly an hour or so a night seems reasonable, however.
I did the ~1/2 of the problems up through chapter 4, and am currently reading chapter 5. I’m not sure If want to spend more time doing problems or not, but I’m definitely interested in reading the rest of the book.

How far are you currently and at what pace do you wish to study?
