Here at Mathematics Visualized you will not find much boring, Wikipedia-style math. Instead, every topic on this site is packed into a small, easy-to-understand Story. In them, mathematics is told in a truly story-like way, rarely without a cliff-hanger or two — making you excited to discover a new topic.
Speaking of discovering things: keeping the spirit of discovery alive is what this site is all about, because math is not a dull subject where you just work through textbook after textbook. No, that is actually the completely wrong way to learn it. In mathematics you can indeed discover everything yourself. Without any outside help — just you, a bit of time, and pencil & paper is all you need. So topics at Mathematics Visualized never start from the top with dozens of definitions followed by a short, modern proof. Instead you get a Story — the whole Story. The Story of how one might have discovered this topic, questioning lots of things along the way, until you reach the point of how it is viewed today.
And all of that is supported by beautiful visualizations — as the name Mathematics Visualized might suggest. A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes, and nowhere is that truer than in mathematics. One carefully chosen visualization is often all it takes to convey the essence of an idea.
Although the number of stories is quite limited today, and this project is certainly still in its infancy, the goal is to expand it day by day. Each week, new stories get added, beautiful animations are rendered, and the site is optimized in every way possible — all to achieve the long-term goal: to build a cozy corner of the internet where practically all the core ideas of the mathematics that humanity has already discovered are presented in a neat, visual and easy-to-understand way — retracing this epic journey of discovery we have been on so far and making it possible for everyone to learn mathematics and discover its beauty.
