Question

Linear algebra visualization tool

Answer 1

Super cool

Answer 2

Wow fucking cool dude

Answer 3

Very cool!

One thing I noticed is that your coordinate system is left-handed, so your cross-products follow a left-hand rule instead of a right-hand rule.

Not technically wrong but, since right-handed coordinate systems are the more common convention, I think it would be a better learning tool if you flipped it. You can make it right-handed by either:

- negating any axis, or
- swapping any two axes

Answer 4

It would be cool to visualize the span of vectors.

Answer 5

Would  be cool if this could do linear transformations as well

Answer 6

Awesome. Not sure it helps understanding (but you say its an early version); at least you explain the operations. Selecting the vector controlled by the mouse might be easier than a menu (check box, toggle, shift...).

Answer 7

I wish I had this tool six months ago when I started learning Numeric Calculus. It's a great idea! Well done!

What are your future plans for this tool? Will it become open-source? Will it become a paid product?

Answer 8

If you want to make a tool to UNDERSTAND linear algebra I'd highly recommend building the system around showing the transformation of compositions. Linear algebra really centers around understanding matrices of compositions of rotations and scaling operations, i.e. the decomposition into SVD or QDQ'. To understand how to do a transformation of visualize it is meaningless unless it helps to understand the algebra, in my opinion

Answer 9

Nice, cool too see a unity math project on here. Good work, thanks for sharing what you've built so far!

Answer 10

Are you going to make something similar to GeoGebra?
