In class, we learned the angle bracket notations for vectors in linear algebra, but I am unable to find a textbook that uses the notation. ex: <"v1 | v2"> (without quotes)
Could you recommend a good textbook that also uses the notation?

The notation $\langle a|b\rangle$ to represent the inner product of $a$ and $b$ is very rarely used in mathematics. It's common in quantum mechanics, and will be defined in any introductory textbook. My preference is for Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by David Griffiths. If you're looking for a formulation of linear algebra in terms of it, that's going to be harder to find but might exist in a linear-alg-for-physics book
