Between 0°C and 100°C are 180°F. This allows for a nice mnemonic to convert between those units using an angle as a guide for °F.
Made possible via #manim, thanks to @3blue1brown and @manim_community!

The second part of my #Manim tutorial series just landed – click here to learn more about positioning mobjects and Manim's configuration system!

What are good places for students to publish expository mathematics articles or videos? I'm looking for blogs, magazines, etc. (and "publish" can be pretty informal)

I want to see more open research done on twitch. One step towards doing that is to create a research tag: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/…
If you are keen to see more people doing cool things on twitch, please vote for this!
I feel bad asking for this, but please RT for visibility.
Amazing work by @kolibril13!

Have you ever wondered how hard it would be to produce @3blue1brown-esque animations? Maybe you've even heard of @manim_community, but never got around to try it?
Well, good news: I've just deployed try.manim.community, an in-browser tutorial for Manim. Give it a spin! :-)
The new @veritasium video about the #Collatz conjecture reminded me of this awesome @wolfram community post community.wolfram.com/groups…
You can really get artistic with it!
Original code from by #reddit user u/level1807.
The dazzling animations of @matthen2 in the new @numberphile video are a great inspiration! I gave the 2 chaotic bouncing balls a shot, but instead of Mathematica I used @manim_community, a community maintained version of the library developed by @3blue1brown.
Here is the @numberphile video:

Can You Steal Energy From A Black Hole? Find out in this clip I made together with Dr. Claudio Paganini (@the_happyproton), in submission for the #VeritasiumContest for 1min science communication. If you enjoy please like and share and help us win! youtu.be/j8AZhFs5qSU
Working on a little entry for #VeritasiumContest from @veritasium in #TikTok and YouTube #Shorts format. It's about trapped - a #PhotonSphere (like my Twitter handle!). The 9/16 ratio is weird to work with but the #OpenGL version of @manim_community works great for this purpose!
Inspired by @matthen2 and @3blue1brown, I too was able to disprove the 2nd law of thermodynamics with the new physics plug-in from @manim_community! #MathTwitter #PhysicsTwitter
Was able to render a quite nice #MandelbrotSet with the community version @manim_community! #MathArt #MathTwitter #Manim
Okay, so apparently no one is doing math or physics in summer (northern hemisphere, that is). Given the temperature I really do get that now. #Math #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #Physics
Today I learned that my home village in Germany can give you a yellow card if you didn’t sort your rubbish good enough. Two of them and they might not take your trash anymore. (Lucky enough, I didn’t get a yellow card yet.)

Latest video: The patents that Einstein approved during his early days working at the Swiss Patent Office

Cheers! Had a blast with that one. Also thanks to @manim_community and @imaginary_math for their respective open-source software!
This video wouldn't have been possible without @Photon_Sphere's great work on the animations & script
Chebyshev's Flower inspired by @TamasGorbe, @corless_rob and @duetosymmetry made via #Manim and @manim_community!
