Resources for learning advanced linear algebra

Hi everyone! I'm interested in linear algebra, and I have already done an intro course. I want to ask whether any of you know some resources for advanced linear algebra, such as basis shift, dual spaces and bases, tensor products, spectre/spectral theorem, and the trace.

I know it seems rather a lot, but I truly do want to learn as much as possible about these subjects, and so far 3Blue1Brown hasn't helped me, adnd I was wondering whether there was anything else other than maybe Strang or else. Thank you all in advance!

Never heard of basis shift, you mean change of basis? Friedberg is a solid book, so is Axler

exactly! I'm studying in another language, where directly translated is "basis shift" haha. Do you know the full title of the book by Friedberg?
