Introducing Operation Matrix Because Matrix operations generally break kids’ brains on whiteboards… Matrices aren't just numbers- they are transformations in space Now can actually SEE the geometry: every addition, multiplication, inverse, eigenvalue, and eigenvector becomes a transformation in real-time space. What it visualizes: • Basic ops (add/subtract/multiply) • Transpose,... show more

I've tried to teach matrices with a game. Here is the matrix carousel where cubes are transformed by matrices and students have to match animations with matrices: Live game: Instructions:

Nice work! I would have loved to have something like ths for studying eigen values for the first time.

shadows7 months ago

Good luck with it!!

@threejs Awesome!

shadows7 months ago

thanks!!

This is brilliant. Matrices clicked for me the moment I stopped thinking of them as numbers and started seeing them as spatial transformations. Making that visual and interactive will save so many students hours of confusion.

shadows7 months ago

@AllanGuetta hope it can help students :)

Yeah, spatial learning will now have a strong edge with this current tools

Oh this would've saved me so much pain back in the day. Seeing the geometry makes the math click instantly.

Pseudospectral Mirage of Matrices We usually judge a matrix by its eigenvalues, but sometimes the eigenvalues are only the bait. The real monster is hiding in the pseudospectrum. Most of the time, a matrix is shown as a few points in the complex plane called eigenvalues. But for some matrices, especially non-normal matrices, those few points do not tell the whole story. In this scene, the complex plane becomes a moving landscape. The bright anchors are the true eigenvalues. Around them, huge pseudospectral continents grow, split, and collapse as the matrix changes. The moving threads show where the matrix is most sensitive. In those regions, even a tiny change can create a huge response. This is the hidden instability of a matrix made visible. Algebra becomes a pressure map and the pseudospectrum becomes terrain. #Mathematics #LinearAlgebra #SpectralTheory #NumericalAnalysis #MatrixTheory #MathArt #MathematicalArt #STEM #Art

This is a great lecture at MIT by David Shirokoff on Markov Chains. He covers the fundamentals of Markov Chains using a simple particle movement example. He starts by explaining how a particle moves between two positions, A & B, with different probabilities. From there, the talk converts the problem into matrix form using a Markov matrix. The main topics covered are: - Transition probabilities - Markov matrices - Probability vectors - Matrix multiplication in Markov Chains - Finding probabilities after n steps - Eigenvalues and eigenvectors - Matrix diagonalization - Long-term steady state distribution

The Trap in Every Mathematics Lecture If you’ve taken enough math courses, you start noticing the same little move. The lecturer warms up with the obvious stuff, add matrices entrywise, scale by α, do the row-column product, and you’re thinking alright, where is this going. Then you relax. You stop resisting. And right there, they drop one line that quietly rewires the whole subject. When Benedict Gross says matrices represent linear operators, he’s telling you to stop treating a matrix as a rectangle of numbers and start treating it as an action. A linear operator is a function T: ℝⁿ → ℝⁿ that respects two rules: T(u+v) = T(u) + T(v) T(αu) = αT(u) Once you pick a basis, T is completely determined by where it sends the basis vectors e₁,…,eₙ. Put T(e₁),…,T(eₙ) into columns and you get a matrix A. That is what A represents T means. A is the coordinate portrait of the transformation. Now the punchline that makes matrix multiplication feel inevitable. If B represents S and A represents T, then doing S first and then T is the composition T∘S. In coordinates that becomes A(Bx) = (AB)x. So multiplying matrices is really composing transformations. That’s why multiplication is usually not commutative. T∘S is generally not the same transformation as S∘T, and the matrices inherit that noncommutativity. This explains half of linear algebra because it tells you what the course is really about: functions that move vectors around, not grids of numbers. A matrix is just the written form of that function once you choose coordinates. After that, the rules stop feeling random. Multiplying matrices means doing one move and then another. An inverse means you can undo the move. Eigenvectors are directions that don’t get turned. Changing basis is just describing the same move in a different language. One idea, and a lot of linear algebra suddenly clicks. #LinearAlgebra #Matrices #LinearMaps #Eigenvectors #ChangeOfBasis #Mathematics

Matrix multiplication seems complex until you observe it step by step. Watch how each of the nine entries is formed: one row from matrix A, one column from matrix B, three products, and one sum.

A Fields medalist walked into an Oxford room in 2020 and taught first-year students what a determinant is. The lecturer is James Maynard. He was 32 at the time and had already broken open a problem the field had been stuck on for 2,000 years. The subject is Linear Algebra II. He is defining a function that eats a square matrix and returns 1 number. The number is a volume. Feed a matrix the unit cube and the determinant tells you how much the transformation stretched or squashed it. A determinant of 0 means the shape got flattened into a lower dimension. Nothing can unflatten it, which is exactly when a matrix has no inverse. A negative determinant means the space got turned inside out. Every graphics engine, every physics simulation, every solver checks that 1 number before doing anything else. Maynard won the Fields Medal in 2022 for work on gaps between primes, sharpening the bound Yitang Zhang had produced from nothing. Oxford films these and puts them up for free, tutorials and problem sheets included. The best number theorist of his generation spent an hour on the volume of a box.

In three-dimensional space the determinant of a matrix whose columns are three vectors equals the signed volume of the parallelepiped those vectors span; changing the middle column so the base parallelogram doubles in area while height stays fixed therefore yields a volume of two cubic units.

Eigenvalues do not always tell the whole story of the matrix. For normal matrices the pseudo-spectrum reveals hidden regions where tiny changes can produce surprisingly large responses.
