Matlab4Animation
From computational software to audiovisual content for education in maths
The Matlab library
Matlab4Animation facilitates the creation of animated videos in mathematics, calculus and numerical methods.
We encourage professors and students to prepare animated math videos for use inside and outside the classroom, with the goal of improving teaching quality and innovation.
Free, open-source code
Go to the Gitlab page to clone or download the latest version of the library. Running the code requires a Matlab License.
The tool is under continuous development, so there might be some bugs that will be fixed over time.
Please acknowledge the library in your videos!
Features
The library is intended to be an easy-to-use tool for simple, good-looking animations. No loops, no time counters, no object-oriented code, just intuitive syntax. An ideal tool for teachers and students.
The goal of the library is not to provide perfect, professional, or fully-customizable animations, but rather to offer a simple interface to intuitively obtain great animations. Those looking for professional results might check other popular alternatives, including Manim.
