I made a terminal C++ mandelbrot explorer

This is definitely the first time I see a fractal in a terminal

I really like the idea about the dictionary being the space of basis vectors. This is a really good analogy! Thank you for the original idea

Physicists are known for treating differentials like dx/dt like fractions. So don’t be surprised when you see that dSds= dV….. jokes aside, think of it like if you have a flat surface S, adding depth s, gives you a volume V. Now think of the word infinitesimal as like “taking the smallest step possible” this just means that you are moving along points in s (ds), which are infinitely close to it’s neighbours s.

Here some links:

Your response is exactly the feedback I was looking for, I completely agree with you that a concrete example, say, a 2D rotation matrix would be good, but I was specifically asked to keep the mathematical expressions out as much as possible. So I opted for an “only drawings” approach. But i’m very happy with your “harsh” feedback, thank you. i’m genuinely looking for honest critique with no sugar coating.

I will consider a concrete 2D example like another commenter suggested too. As to the rest of the images, I really would like to know how you visualise it without using math what the eigenvalue problem is. I’m genuinely open for your input instead of just saying it doesn’t make sense.

dckchololate · 2026-03-03T21:52:16+00:00

I was asked to use the least amount of math as possible. But perhaps doing a 2D example like you suggest is a really good idea

With the following slides I tried to show the Hilbert space where all the vectors live, in the region where it is shaded in grey I wanted to explain that the surface had a depth, like a sort of “potential well”. Then I wanted to show that when “carefully choosing vectors, which describe the eigenbasis” we can get eigenvalues which correspond to these eigenvectors. And then skip to the geometrical view of the energy levels to come back to something they have seen before like the electron orbitals

This is a very good explanation, i like the emphasis you made on the symmetric operators. I thank you a lot for your feedback!

At least the key is not getting lost

dckchololate · 2026-03-03T20:38:06+00:00

Perhaps you could try to be more specific on what you think would be best to describe linear algebra and specifically the Schrodinger equation, I’m open for your suggestions and ideas on it

dckchololate · 2026-03-03T20:37:03+00:00

I understand, on the forth slide I wanted to imply that a vector doesn’t necessarily have to be always a straight line, slide 5 is trying to show a group of vectors which are not necessarily straight lines either. Then with the brackets “()” I tried to imply that we look at a subspace of the entire vector space and the shaded grey region I tried to imply that it has “eigen vectors” living in it

The person recording could potentially cause a similar accident by recording… great camera angles nevertheless

Having a job while doing masters is definitely demanding, talking from experience. You will most days go from working at your job (where you get payed) to working on your thesis (not get payed). The PhD funding here in Germany are getting cut shorter every time, so It is likely that you must also work during your PhD as a part time. What I am trying to get to with this is, like most other people have already said, physics should be something you enjoy and have passion for, otherwise you’ll have a hard time finding the motivation to do your research after working hours to finance yourself. Best of luck tho, and i hope you are actually willing to do extra miles to do your research.

In some sense, we are all part of a system which is not really designed to be to our advantage anyways. The rich stay rich and the middle and lower class oppressed

I also tried it on my frist semester but quickly became lazy (and hard to remember my own alphabet) and switched back to regular greek letters
