Manim Tutorial Series E01: An Invitation to Mathematical Animations WITH EASE in Python

Did you ever wonder how hard it would be to create stunning animations for visualizing mathematical (or in general science-y) concepts? Good news, all that you need is a little knowledge of Python – and Manim, the community-maintained Python framework originally started by Grant "3blue1brown" Sanderson! This is a very gentle introduction to the art of ~manimating~. This video assumes that you have seen some Python code before.

Manim would not be possible without its original creator, Grant "3b1b" Sanderson – and it would not exist without its very active and open community.
Inspiration for the example in the beginning comes from Veritasium's video on the history of complex numbers:    • How Imaginary Numbers Were Invented
