Linear Algebra Visualizer 2.0

Full contextOriginal content · Reddit

Hi guys! Problem: A couple of months ago I posted about Linear Algebra Visualizer - an app I developed, initially, to help myself with visualising matrix transformations and get a deeper intuition about how they are calculated. Version 2.0 just shipped with some features that had been requested here and elsewhere, which was matrix compositions (being able to chain together different transformations). I've also added translations (affine transformations) and a deeper Step by Step breakdown to this version. Comparison: As I hadn't found a tool that does this I built an application inspired by 3blue1browns video on linear transformations as I found those helped with being able to visualise what was going on. Price: These new features are now available as In-App Purchases, either as monthly, yearly or lifetime. You get a free, 7 day, trail if you want to check it out :) Available here: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/linear-algebra-visualizer/id6763524968 Any feedback would be really useful. For example, would you find a tool like this helpful? Is there anything missing? Does it make sense? What have you struggled with or seen people struggle with when it comes to linear algebra? Thanks and let me know in the comments 😄

i’ll never be in a place to use this sort of app practically, but I love to see this kind of content shared here as opposed to yet another clipboard manager, yet another screen capture, yet another completely unoriginal vibeware. thank you for keeping it interesting!

What is the cost of lifetime plan? Can you not just do this with llm and manim ? you can just ask llm i want to visulize this and it can do it for you with all the fancy animations etc...

You might be able to do it with an llm but it wont have the intractability like a piece of software I would imagine

the design of this is really nice! clean visuals, the calculations update in real time....good work!

I like apps that teach by letting you play with the concepts instead of just showing formulas. Matrix composition feels like a natural addition too. Have you thought about adding support for eigenvectors/eigenvalues? That seems like another topic where visualization really helps.

It’s spelled “slop” and it’s not ai slop at all. Im a software engineer so it’s made by me
