If anyone is interested in a more visual or intuitive over-view, I made a mini-book on it as well a few years ago which you can find here: https://github.com/photonlines/Intuitive-Overview-of-Linear-...

Nice pairing the text with 3Blue1Brown's lectures on linear algebra!

As an autodidact who never learned this stuff at school/uni, his lectures are what made linear algebra really click for me. I can only recommend them to anyone who wants to get a visual intuition on the fundamentals of LA.

What also helped me as a visual learner was to program/setup tiny experiments in Processing[1] and GeoGebra Classic[2].

Nitpick: No one is a visual learner, or more correctly everyone is. Multimodal is the way, so good teachers will express the same concepts in several ‘modes’ and that helps develop the intuition.

This looks very nice. Thanks for posting.
