This book explains quantum computing in terms of elementary linear algebra, emphasizing computation and algorithms and requiring no background in physics. Richard J. Lipton and Kenneth W. Regan's book is concise but comprehensive, covering many key algorithms. It is mathematically rigorous but requires minimal background and assumes no knowledge of quantum theory or quantum mechanics. The book explains quantum computation in terms of elementary linear algebra; it assumes the reader will have some familiarity with vectors, matrices, and their basic properties, but offers a review of the relevant material from linear algebra.
