Simon’s really proud of himself for being helpful during The Coding Train’s tutorial recording sessions. He hopes to have converted Dan Shiffman to approach trigonometry as something about circles, not … Continue reading Trig is About Circles
Simon’s back to the Integral Calculus course on Brilliant.org, picking up where he left off in July: trigonometric integrals. His private teacher says that in a Belgian high school, this … Continue reading Back to Integral Calculus
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
Simon saw this thumbnail (by the channel Mind Your Decisions) among the YouTube recommended videos and sat down to solve it, without watching the video, so that he doesn’t see … Continue reading The Ladder Problem
Simon talking about his Tantrix Game code and the math behind it. It has been Simon’s first community project, many thanks to everyone who has contributed hexagonal tiles for the … Continue reading Tantrix Game in JavaScript
In the video below, Simon is showing the cloud design he contributed to the community project collecting cloud designs for the Processing Community Day coming up on October 21, 2017. … Continue reading Simon contributed his own cloud for the Processing Community Day
Simon has been studying various 2D collisions (via the p5.collide2D library and paulbourke.net), especially the Circle-Rectangle Intersection (Collision). He was so busy with this problem that he even put it down in chalk … Continue reading Circle-Rectangle Intersection (Collision)
Simon was reading about math functions on Wikipedia and came up with an idea to create an interactive math functions editor in JavaScript that would visualize (i.e. show the graphs … Continue reading Interactive Math Functions
Simon playing around with sine, cosine and radii in Grapher:
A set of awesome Codea tutorials that Simon recorded for those who are just starting to program in Codea. Simon ported examples from Processing (java) into Codea (Lua): In the … Continue reading Simon’s Codea Tutorials and the Arc-Tangent
Simon talks about his changes to Daniel Shiffman’s Spherical Geometry Coding Challenge: He has rewritten the code in an object oriented manner. Later he also turned the sphere into an … Continue reading Simon’s changes to Daniel Shiffman’s Spherical Geometry Coding Challenge
Here Simon explains how to calculate the magnitude of a 3D vector. This is something he partially figured out on his own and partially learned from Daniel Shiffman’s tutorial on … Continue reading Magnitude of a 3D vector
