Triangles as translators between Cartesian and polar coordinates

This is a short, animated visual exploration of the way to use triangles to translate between rectangular coordinates and circular coordinates (Cartesian to polar).

This animation is based on well-known material from any calculus book.

$Adding Fractions Visually This is a short animation showing how to think visually about adding fractions. We show the process only for 2/7+1/5 but a similar idea works for adding any pair of fractions. To buy me a coffee, head over to https://www.buymeacoffee.com/VisualProofs Thanks! This is a standard technique for visualizing fraction addition. #mathshorts #mathvideo #math #fractions #mtbos #manim #animation #theorem #pww #proofwithoutwords #visualproof #proof #iteachmath #mathematics #area #visualfractions #addfractions #fractionarithmetic #arithmetic To learn more about animating with manim, check out: https://manim.community$
