Simon’s geometric calculator for +, -, ×, ÷ and √
To add a + b, start at a on the plus scale. Then move b units. You’ll end up at a + b.
Linear Equations in Geogebra
“This is what matrices and matrix manipulations really look like”, Simon says, making this visialization inspired by a video on Zach Star’s channel. Simon’s Geogebra project is published online at … Continue reading Linear Equations in Geogebra
Grandfather Paradox on a Möbius strip
The famous Grandfather Paradox (you travel to the past and kill your grandfather, which prevents the your existence) on a Möbius strip. Simon’s inspiration comes from the “Solution to the Grandfather Paradox” video … Continue reading Grandfather Paradox on a Möbius strip
Scientific Thinking: Pulleys
Simon was inspired by the Scientific Thinking course on Brilliant.org to create this pulley simulation in Algodoo. You can download Simon’s scene called “Pulleys” and play with it yourself. They … Continue reading Scientific Thinking: Pulleys
Formula for e
I’ve worked out a formula for e! This came up when I was looking for an antiderivative, if n isn’t equal to 1: if n is equal to 1, then … Continue reading Formula for e
New Friends. New Horizons.
Thanks to the lock-down, Simon’s got new friends. For a little over a month now, he has been part of exciting daily discussions, challenging coding sessions and just playing together … Continue reading New Friends. New Horizons.
Making small animations with Python turtle
This is what I got from the kids yesterday as my Mother’s Day present. Simon has taught Neva to make little animations in Python. This is another little video of … Continue reading Making small animations with Python turtle
Science on the Balcony: Position of a Pendulum
Simon: “The direct formula for the position of a pendulum is not what you might think”. Simon’s code for spring and graph: https://editor.p5js.org/simontiger/sketches/mWp6gQLxz Simon’s code for pendulum with directed fields: … Continue reading Science on the Balcony: Position of a Pendulum
Higgs Field Simulation in Processing
Simon says he has attempted a Higgs Field model in Processing, but got more of a Brownian Motion simulation in the end. His code on GitHub: https://github.com/simon-tiger/Brownian-Motion
Autonomous Google Bee Game
Inspired by the Google Bee Game published on Earth Day 2020, Simon created his own autonomous bee game, “a combination of a cellular automaton and a Turing machine”. Simon’s code: … Continue reading Autonomous Google Bee Game
