A visual, animation-driven video series by Grant Sanderson that builds geometric intuition for vectors, linear transformations, matrices, determinants, and eigenvectors. It is meant as an intuition companion rather than a full problem-solving course.

Commenters describe it as a great way to build geometric intuition for linear algebra, with one noting its videos on stats are very digestible.

    First of all, don't be put off by being older than uni age, a lot of people transfer into ml and data science from other careers, there's nothing wrong with it! Looks like you've got the linear algebra part of things covered, which is a major part of ml math, I suggest looking at some stats next…

    3B1B is great to get a geometrical intuition of Linear Algebra. I'd suggest to solve some problems analytically for a complete understanding of concepts. Prof Gilbert Strang's videos helped me a lot. If you are looking to understand LA through programming, check out fast.ai, I loved their course…
