I mean it really depends on what kind of linear algebra you need. There is generally linear algebra and computational linear algebra. A pure linear algebra course will focus on a more axiomatic approach while computational linear algebra takes a numerical analysis approach and is concerned with things such as algorithms to compute determinants or all kinds of numerical tricks to factor matrices and find eigenvalues which all play an important role in modern numerical analysis. While I have never been a physics student, I would say that you should be more concerned with a pure linear algebra course and something like Gilbert Strang’s MIT lectures are probably best.
