matrices - Linear Algebra Problems?

Is there any good reference for difficult problems in linear algebra? Because I keep running into easily stated linear algebra problems that I feel I should be able to solve, but don't see any obvious approach to get started.



Here's an example of the type of problem I am thinking of: Let A,B be ntimesn matrices, set C=ABBA, prove that if AC=CA then C is nilpotent. (I saw this one posed on the KGS Go Server)



Ideally, such a reference would also contain challenging problems (and techniques to solve them) about orthogonal matrices, unitary matrices, positive definiteness... hopefully, all harder than the one I wrote above.
