For self-study, you don't necessarily need to follow the usual progression of math classes that start at calculus. It's more important to get comfortable with linear algebra than calculus, especially the way a lot of intro calculus courses focus on calculating integrals and derivatives. Maybe it's not the best message, but the worst grades in my math degree were in the intro calculus classes.

I don't remember what intro linear algebra books I used, but my college uses this: https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~linear/ (I took the class before this free textbook was developed).
