3blue1brown’s videos are excellent. They build intuition in a calm and friendly way with an appropriate amount of useful animation. This is how we make mathematics accessible. I’m currently considering moving back into academia and there are a lot of topics in my field that I know students often struggle with that would be greatly helped by some simple animations. Fortunately I’m pretty competent with blender and I r…

He has an entire series on "the essence of linear algebra". I'm a PhD student in a technical field, and rewatch that series at least once a year. It's brilliantly accessible, clear, and visually explained. I recommend the series to anyone who asks me about anything to do with matrix operations

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Perhaps you can explain what you mean by “exploration of what happens” and “terms of the transformation”? That’s pretty vague as a description of a visualization. Maybe you’re talking about a visualizing a discrete Fourier transform?

Yep, it's vague, sorry, I'll need to try my hand at a video.
