The bible of linear algebra applied to ecology is Hal Caswell's Matrix Population Models. Definitely check this out.
If you want to understand the fundamental concepts of linear algebra (linear functions, vectors, matrices, eigenvalues and eigenvectors), I'm going to indulge in some shameless self-promotion and recommend Chapter 6 of Modeling Life. Go slow (we take about 4 weeks to cover most of that chapter) and do the problems. If you want, you can skip the more technical material on diagonalization, but eigenstuff is important. And if you're at a place that subscribes to SpringerLink, you can download the book free.
