Build Mathematical Animations with Manim in Python
Problem:
Static slides can only go so far when you’re explaining complex concepts.
Dynamic visuals make abstract ideas clearer, more engaging, and easier to understand.
Solution:
Manim gives you the power to create professional mathematical animations in Python, just like the ones you see in 3Blue1Brown’s videos.
In the code below, Manim transforms equations into smooth visual steps:
- Define equation steps using MathTex with LaTeX notation
- Animate equation transformations with the Transform class
- Control animation flow with play() and wait() methods
- Render output with simple command: manim -p -ql script.py

Build Clean Visualizations with Altair Grammar
Problem:
Matplotlib requires manual data transformation and explicit configuration for every visual element.
Solution:
Altair uses declarative syntax based on Vega-Lite for intuitive, readable visualizations.
With Altair, you can describe what you want, not how to create it:
- Automatic formatting with type encoding (:T, :Q, :N, :O)
- Built-in aggregations: mean(), sum(), count()
- No manual groupby or date conversion
- Easy chart composition and layering
- Interactive features with minimal code
