Mathematical Visualization Menagerie
This is a collection of mathematical visualization functions written in Python using the Matplotlib library. Please watch our greatest hits on youtube and visit the VIZ blog for more examples and information.
-
Complex Roots (video) - Histograms of the roots of complex polynomials with varying coefficients.
-
Dynamical Systems (video) - Fractals generated by iterating various functions over random points.
-
Mystery Curves (gif) - Periodic complex functions.
-
Newton's Method (video) - Fractals generated by the convergence of random points towards the roots of functions.
-
Polar Curves (images) - Visual experiments using polar coordinates.
-
Random Walks (images) - Visual experiments using random processes.
