To add to this, a website I've found useful is betterexplained.com. Specifically for complex numbers, take a look at [1] and [2]. But they also have good articles with visualizations to help you understand the Fourier transform, the number e, integrals and derivatives, linear algebra, etc. A starting point is [3]. One useful idea is that they color the different parts of math equations to explain each part separately, see [4].

Another great source of math visualizations is the YouTube channel 3Blue1Brown, in particular the series on linear algebra [5]. (I didn't intuitively understand what a determinant represented or what the determinant of a transformation being zero really meant, until watching [6].)
