Awesome Math Animations
Published:
Overview
A collection of mathematical animations created using Manim (Mathematical Animation Engine) to explain complex mathematical concepts through visual storytelling.
Project Goals
- Make abstract mathematical concepts more intuitive through visualization
- Create educational content for students learning advanced mathematics
- Demonstrate the power of visual explanations in mathematical education
- Build a library of reusable mathematical visualizations
Technical Stack
