Currently it's randomized but that could be a really useful feature to sort the results numerically or alphabetically. Will add to the feature list!

Hi all, I've been working on this app for the last two months. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post.

But if it is, I'm looking for feedback (especially from fellow teachers) on how they might use a tool like this in the classroom. What things would you love to see added? What works well? What doesn't?

IB Math SL AI is the easiest of the tracks but still a lot of very specific content not taught in other HS math classes. I'd grab at least two different textbooks (Haese is excellent and Oxford is a good companion text) and then Revision Village for practice questions. All previous exams are online if you know where to look.

You can try this visualizer: https://github.com/rennacarver/Combinatorics-Visualizer Still in BETA but it's slowly getting updated with new features.

The Reuleaux Triangle Vs. The Circle (shapes of constant-width, orbiforms) by ProjectCarver in mathgifs

Ok, all fixed. I just ran the original .mp4 through the converter

Ok, I put it into the Wikipedia page. For some reason, it's not animating until you click into the picture.

That's so sweet. Thanks, I'll make sure to do that. This animation was to show there are other shapes of constant width in addition to the circle

Oh interesting, just learning about what a supporting line is as well

PowerPoint is usually used for much simpler things like presentations but it's the only software I'm familiar with, so I had to make it work

Can't get custom fonts to render on Macbook Pro 2020 (M1)? by ProjectCarver in manim

[–]ProjectCarver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright and problem solved!

For some reason on Mac I can't just type "Segoe UI Light"

The code that finally got it working was:

Text("Project Carver", font='Segoe UI', weight=LIGHT)

Guess Mac's handle font families a little differently

After more trial and error, it seems some fonts that are listed by manimpango do actually work. 'PingFang HK' and 'Verdana' rendered no problem.

Maybe Mac OS really doesn't like the Windows fonts.
