“The Beauty of Bézier Curves”, listed under Freya Holmér, is cataloged as explainer. Freya Holmer explains how Bezier curves work, from the helper-line construction to their uses in animation, text rendering and shapes. It uses visuals from her Unity Shapes plugin and was a SoME1…

“The more general uncertainty principle, regarding Fourier transforms”, listed under 3Blue1Brown, is cataloged as explainer. 3Blue1Brown shows how the uncertainty principle arises from Fourier transforms. A wave packet cannot be narrow in both position and frequency, so the principle is a property of waves rather than of…
