They are absolutely amazing for the intuition but lack the mechanics, both of which are essential for linear algebra. The calculations are necessary, but without the intuition they will seem meaningless and the nuances will be difficult to remember. I would pair with Gilbert Strang MIT open courseware and Khan Academy. The 3 together made linear algebra probably the most useful mathematics class Ive taken.
