johndcook's post is about numerical linear algebra.

The recommendations given here so far are for intro/abstract linear algebra texts.

Correct. Though in my case I have to re-do Strang or the equivalent anyway. Been a long time.

For the numerical stuff, it's hard to beat Golub and Van Loan.

Texts that emphasize coordinate-free approaches, like Linear Algebra Done Right, don't really get at the numeric computations issue.
