A simple, short and clear illustration of this is in 'The Geometry of Multivariate Statistics' by Thomas D. Wickens, which I purchased solely based on it's title. It goes through the geometric interpretation of univariate, and multivariate linear regression, then goes into the geometric interpretation…

Wickens, The Geometry of Multivariate Statistics. I look forward to understanding measure theory and related math.
