everyone already knows i'm a dog

the swift programming language is my fault to some degree. mostly here to see dogs, shitpost, fix old computers, and/or talk about math and weird computer programming things. for effortposts check the #longpost pinned tag. asks are open.

it's harder than you might think.

good news though, it's someone's special interest topic and she's spent the better part of a year making a video.

freya's animations have been a blessing on the timeline, and this video has really high production values and polish. down to the bit where you're going "but wait... what about this?!" and the video goes "so you might be asking..."

or if you will, there's smooth narrative flow in video about curves (heh)

anyway: stuff like this is what math education should be like, and i don't just mean the animations (which rule). what i mean is that the video opens with "here is a problem we're trying to solve" and introducing concepts like differentiation, continuity, and curvature as we get closer to solving it

it isn't about the concepts or tools, it's about why we need them, how they're useful, and a bunch of fucking around and finding out to solve the problem at hand. it's great.
