comment Where do I start with self learning linear algebra
I second the recommendation of Artin, Algebra. I learned linear algebra (very well) from self-studying this book. (I had some previous knowledge of matrix mechanics but no rigorous or theoretical linear algebra knowledge before I picked it up.)

comment Where is the calculation hiding in this proof about how $p$ splits in $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_n)$?
Yes, he had already proved non-ramification a different way based on the discriminant, which is why I was comfortable depending on that for the argument. By the way, your answer here is just the kind of thing I was looking for! Thanks. (Accepted and +1)

comment Reality check: $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}_\mathbb{R}^1}(1)$ and $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}_\mathbb{R}^1}(-1)$ are both mobius strips?
Thanks! The linked question now answers this one.

Thanks! What's the idea for using the identity to show that $p$ is unramified?
