LU Factorization and Linear Systems for Programers
I'd also recommend Fundamentals of Matrix Computations by Watkins for a great introduction. It helped immensely when I had to teach myself matrix algorithms as part of my undergraduate research.https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Matrix-Computations-Davi...

Surprises from numerical linear algebra (2010)
Yes, Golub/van Loan is the bible. But Walkins's "Fundamentals of Matrix Computations" (http://www.amazon.com/o/asin/0470528338/) is much more accessible to self-learners.For those who are just starting on this subject, I highly recommend that you rework the proofs for the bounds between the various matrix norms [1]. These bounds are the building blocks for most interesting analyses in matrix computations. And understanding these analyses are essential if you want to know which algorithm will work best for your problems.
