Immersive Linear Algebra

Immersive Linear Algebra is a free interactive textbook written by Jacob Strom, Kalle Astrom and Tomas Akenine-Moller. The figures are interactive, so vectors, planes, matrices and transformations can be moved and rotated directly in the page to see how a result changes.

The book covers vectors, dot and cross products, matrices, systems of linear equations and determinants, with a visual explanation placed next to each definition. The geometric approach is aimed at readers who need the subject for computer graphics, mechanics, signal processing or machine learning.

A lot of sketches, and interactive tools.

It works in the browser without installation or registration. The book is a teaching text, so it explains concepts and worked examples but does not offer a calculator for arbitrary matrices.

Disciplines: Mathematics, Computer graphics, Machine learning, Engineering, Physics, Education.
Free alternative to 3Blue1Brown, Khan Academy.

Medium and interactivity: It is a book published on the web whose figures are interactive. The page describes it as the first linear algebra book with fully interactive figures, so readers manipulate the objects themselves.Medium and interactivity: It is primarily a YouTube channel focused on explaining math visually, run by Grant Sanderson. The site also hosts written and interactive versions of many videos.Medium and interactivity: It is an online learning platform with personalized courses that help students master key concepts and fill learning gaps. Courses cover math among many other subjects.
Scope in linear algebra: It has ten chapters: introduction, vectors, the dot product, the vector product, Gaussian elimination, the matrix, determinants, rank, linear mappings, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors.Scope in linear algebra: Linear algebra is one topic among others on the site, described as mathematics with a distinct visual perspective.Scope in linear algebra: Linear algebra is part of a catalog of over 840 K-12 and early college courses. The content is not limited to one topic.
Production and openness: The authors are J. Ström, K. Åström and T. Akenine-Möller, and the site is copyright 2015 to 2020. No licence terms are stated on the pages checked.Production and openness: Almost all animations are made with Manim, an open-source Python animation library written by Sanderson. The licence of the lessons is not stated on the site.Production and openness: Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing a free education to anyone. It is available in more than 55 languages.
Funding and access: The book is read online at its own website.
