It's more or less a rite of passage to share these Youtube videos whenever the topic of Linear Algebra comes up: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2x...

That series motivated me to learn Linear Algebra when I watched it 8 months ago. After watching those, I started this course: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr22xikWUK2yUW4YxOKXclQ/pla...
In my opinion, the latter is one of the best math courses available on YouTube, and definitely deserves more views.

I'm just finished watching the 3blue 1brown series and am working through the Klein book now.
Klein's books is very heavy on symbolic manipulation and not much (geometric) intuition. I still think it's worthwhile because of its CS applications. But someone wanting to learn LA can easily get discouraged.
I would suggest one do both the book and the 3blue 1brown series. The former is the bread, the latter is the jam.
