This seems like one of the best uses of computers for educational media, one of the ways digital instruction can really shine through compared to physical text which can often require supplemental videos or help from a teacher to elucidate a concept.
Feels very reminiscent to me of 3B1B videos [1] on topics that use visuals to elucidate math topics more clearly as well.

- aidos 8y ago3Blue1Brown's Essence of linear algebra series is the go to place for learning this material. I've included the link to the series below so people don't get lost in all his other wonderful videos along the way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNk_zzaMoSs&list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2xVFitgF8hE_ab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNk_zzaMoSs&list=PLZHQObOWTQ...

- tokyodude 8y agoI see you used a throwaway because there are so many fans. I might not be as harsh but while I enjoyed the pretty animations they didn't actually help me learn linear algebra. They're still full of jargon written for people who already know the topic.
- photon_lines 8y agoIn case anyone is interested in a written version of some of the essential points 3Blue1Brown makes, I recently released my own review notes which try to provide a brief overview of some of the main linear algebra topics as well as applications: https://github.com/photonlines/Intuitive-Overview-of-Linear-Algebra-Fundamentals https://github.com/photonlines/Intuitive-Overview-of-Linear-...
