For pure visual intuition, I prefer 3blue1brown's Essence of Linear Algebra on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2x...). Even though they're not interactive, the visualizations themselves are the most compelling and insightful.
Has anyone used both interactive texts? My initial impression is that the GA Tech text starts with matrices and applications to systems of equations (like Strang) while the immersive math one seems to start more focused on vectors and geometry with computer graphics applications.
Neither seems to have supporting exercises yet which I think really limits their use as primary texts.
I took linear algebra after college (I hold a non-technical bachelors) through a local community college.
3blue1brown is what made linear algebra really click for me. My professor also gave us some jupyter notebooks to play around with that really helped. Unfortunately he developed these himself and I don't believe they are publicly accessible.
I also purchased 'Coding the Matrix' by Philip N. Klein, which gave me another perspective on Linear Algebra. I primarily used it as an additional reference. I've been meaning to do a front to back reading of the text, but haven't gotten around to it yet. It's got some pretty decent exercises.
I contacted one of the authors of the book. He confirms there aren't exercises yet, but says it's a work in progress and hopes there will be in the future.
