I made an animation to show the intuition behind Prince Rupert's Cube using Manim library.

I didn't understand much of it - and still found this animation amazing².

(I must've been under a rock 2 years ago)

Animation vs. Math

USM is a single, systematic framework that unifies trigonometric, hyperbolic, and complex-exponential substitutions into one coherent method. No more hunting through a dozen separate “recipes” for different radicals or inverse-trig integrals—you rewrite x + b as e^(±i α) (or e^θ), track sign/branch choices algorithmically, and reduce everything to a rational (“polynomish”) integral in a new variable.

Why USM shines for ∫ e^(arccos(x)) dx:
• Transforms e^(arccos(x)) into simple powers of t = e^(–i arccos(x))
• Eliminates the usual integration-by-parts slog
• Integrates term-by-term in one shot, then back-substitutes for a crisp final form

📄 Dive deeper! Check out my draft article “A Unified Substitution Method for Integration” for full proofs, more examples, and the USM’s broader scope (link in bio).

I don't do a lot of animations, but couldn't resist with this one. This traces the path of 25 iterations of the system

x ↦ x - 0.4 sin(y + sin(0.4y))
y ↦ y - 0.4 sin(x + sin(-2x))

with initial (x, y) the set of points on a circle of radius 12, as the center moves from (-5, -0.4) to (+5, -0.4).

Original Doppler efffect animations I developed for a physics course last week: subsonic speed, mach 1, mach 1.5 and mach 2 visualizations of the formation of the sound barrier and the shock wave cone.

#MathAnimation: #ParallelTransport

https://buster.me.uk/globe/

An animation (HTML5 canvas and Javascript) made for a very small, very informal talk, which was supposed to be about gauge theory but only got as far as talking about connections and #ParallelTransport. The audience already knew all about it but they were very indulgent (both of them)!
