Khan Academy's free video-and-exercise course covering multivariable calculus, the extension of calculus to functions of several variables. Commenters describe it as a reasonable introduction rather than a complete treatment.

Commenters call it good enough to give a reasonable grasp of the material, though best used as a complement to other resources.

    Khan academy will teach you all of pre-k, high-school, pre-calc, calculus and infinite series pretty well. mathsisfun.com is a great resource if that's ever lacking. High school physics on khan is good to give you a practical application of the concepts if they seem too abstract.

    I found Strang's youtube lectures the best for linear algebra along with 'vector maths for 3d graphic'. Khan's linear algebra course seems like more a collection of practical things you can do with linear algebra rather than a coherent cource but it's still a great resource.

    Khan academy's multi-variable calculus is good enough to give you a reasonable grasp, but I'd call it a good complement rather than sole resource.

    I've tended to go through the cycle of watching the lectures, then doing the exercises, going forward, going back after a few months to ensure I understand the whys and not just the hows, and then writing my own notes. Machine Learning et al is a great practical application of all this maths.
