Tool Bench Blue Prints

Une nouvelle video.

Norman Wildberger does not stop in so good way! Also, here is a new video of him that I have no doubt, will become your favorite Canadian living in Australia! This time, he reveals the secrets of homogeneous coordinates. Meaning not so obvious that we encounter every day yet! Indeed, most of 3D rendering engines (games, 3D applications, etc..) use this method of calculation for the display of the 2D projection of a 3D scene on a screen. This is where it happens (yes, always in English!):

Un générateur d'exercices en ligne !

An application that works either online or locally and generates exercises of math or geometry, and their corrected! It exists and it's called Pyromath ! The installation of the application locally involves the use of MikTeX (the application uses the language to generate LaTeX sheets in pdf form with beautifully written!). I personally prefer the online version. For now, the exercises cover the program generated the 6 th to the 3 rd (for Surveyor herbs then!). So be a test ! Once you have clicked on "create" your browser will suggest you to save a zip archive. The latter contains a form of exercise and a corrected form.

FYI Framasoft tells us that there are other such resources online: ChingAtome , bases Syracuse, Euler . Good reviews!
