I discovered this last night! I've been dealing with matrices frequently for the past 15 years and never really got them. Having watched his series now, I feel like I completely understand them, in a way that I never even fathomed before. I think I'm going to make a small series producing a raytracer from first principles, in a somewhat similar style; that visual design was just the perfect medium.
Thanks, I had not seen that channel before.
