Simon created a physics engine in Python with Turtle. He used Verlet integration (French pronunciation: [vɛʁˈlɛ]), a numerical method for integrating Newton’s equations of motion in calculating trajectories of particles in molecular … Continue reading Physics Engine using Verlet Integration
Simon has been pondering a lot about various ways to visualize or prove the quadratic formula. He eventually came up with a 4-meter-long quiz sheet, slowly revealing the logic behind … Continue reading The Grand Quadratic Formula Quiz!
Simon says he saw this question on a thumbnail of a recommended video and got curious to solve this. He built a beautiful colored graph to visualize the problem in … Continue reading Can a rectangle have the same perimeter and area?
Every polygon can be triangulated into exactly n-2 triangles. So you’ve got the triangulation theorem and the totally opposite theorem in the math universe, Girard’s theorem (the formula for the … Continue reading Dissecting Polygons
Simon has recreated the CodingGame.com’s Spring Challenge 2020 PacMan game in p5.js to be able to work on the AI versions after the spring challenge has finished. Link to Simon’s … Continue reading Spring Challenge 2020 PacMan in p5.js
Sitting on our sunny balcony, Simon wrote down the chemical formula for photosynthesis and “converted” it onto a mathematical equation.
Following up on his Bézier Curve in p5.js project from a couple months ago, Simon created a Bézier Editor: https://editor.p5js.org/simontiger/sketches/4Dj5iq0oh
