Hi everyone! 👋 After a year of work, I can finally share with you my latest article about xorshift generators! If you have ever used Unity or JavaScript, you have likely used them without knowing. Many engines and framework rely on xorshift generators to produce random numbers. In this long article

Hi everyone! 👋 Over the years, I've worked on a lot of space-related projects, including the Exoplanet Catalogue (a list of all the confirmed exoplanets) and 0RBITALIS. I'm very happy to announce that the longest and most detailed tutorials I've written is a deep dive into orbital mechanics! 🛰️ Th

Hi everyone! 👋 Today I want to share with you the latest tutorial I worked on! It's one of my longest and more complex articles so far, and it's a about a subject I really like: Principal Component Analysis. This is a simple, yet powerful technique used primarily in Data Analysis to reduce the dime

Hi everyone! 👋 This is the fourth, and final part of the new tutorial dedicated to extending Unity into the fourth dimension. In this instalment, we will see different techniques to create various 4D objects, such as tesseracts, hyperspheres and 600-cells (the 4D equivalent of an icosahedron). All

Hi everyone! 👋 This is the third part of the new tutorial dedicated to extending Unity into the fourth dimension. In this instalment, we will tackle the most important issue: rendering 4D objects! The first three articles are now public, and the rest of the series is available on Early Access to al

Hi everyone! 👋 The content spree continues! 🤪 This week I am publishing TWO (2!!!) more articles! Part 3: Modelling Kalman Filters Part 4: The Extended Kalman Filter They continue the journey into the secrets of Kalman Filters. In case you missed it, the first two posts are already out: Part 1: Ka

Hi everyone! 👋 This week I am publishing not one, but TWO (2!!!) articles! 🤪 Part 1: Kalman Filters: From Theory to Implementation Part 2: The Mathematics of Kalman Filter These two posts introduce the super interesting topic of Kalman Filters. In case you have never heard of them, Kalman Filters

Hi everyone! 👋 After a few busy weeks teaching, I finally had some time to work and publish a new tutorial series! It covers a subject that many of you are familiar with: hanging wires, cables and chains! This new series covers the mathematics and implementation of catenaries, the mathematical obje

Hi everyone! It is impossible to deny that the recent pandemics of COVID-19 has changed the world we live in. As a Science Communicator—one which family has been affected—I feel is important I take this opportunity to add my contribution to the current discourse. This new series will focus on unders

This post introduces the mathematics behind the optical phenomenon known as diffraction grating, which is responsible for iridescent reflections in many materials. Part 5. The Mathematics of Diffraction Grating You can read the rest of the series here: Part 1. The Nature of Light Part 2. Improving t

This tutorial starts our journey into the world of inverse kinematics. There are countless ways to approach this problem, but they all starts with forward kinematics. Inverse kinematics takes a point in space, and tells you how to move your arm to reach it. Forward kinematics solves the opposite, du
