Behold The Beast! The Magnificent 2D Matrix!
🕑 Added 2015-07-31 21:18:08 +0000 UTC http://ncase.me/matrix/So while I'm still chugging away at my next big explorable explanation... (I'd Like To Be A Machine, an explorable on neurons, mixed with a personal story about anxiety) ...I wanted to give y'all something before the end of the month.
Here's an Explorable on 2D transformation matrices! I actually started making this a year ago, then abandoned it, then polished it up in the last two days. So now, you can play with a visual 2D matrix, and see that geometric beauty that is usually locked up in boring grids of numbers.
Hope you enjoy! I seriously want to thank all of you peeps for supporting me. Which reminds me, I will be posting to Patreon again soon, asking if you'd like to be credited as a supporter for I'd Like To Be A Machine! And maybe other supporter rewards, I haven't really figured much of this out yet.

Even after using matrices for years, this elucidates matrices on a whole new level. Now I can't imagine matrices being taught without something like this. Another good explorable on matrices is this: <a href="http://setosa.io/ev/eigenvectors-and-eigenvalues/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://setosa.io/ev/eigenvectors-and-eigenvalues/</a> .
