3blue1brown is a channel about animating math, in all senses of the word animate.
The source code for this video is visible at the link below, but the, er, awkward part is that it was made on a branch of manim where I'm reworking a lot of other things and have yet to work out all the kinks or add any documentation, so I'm not entirely sure how easy it will be for others to get running. In either case, you should be able to easily see how all the simulations worked.

Bem vindos ao blog do OAT/CICS.NOVA

May 5, 2020

Vamos iniciar este novo blog sobre o quadro epistemológico em que esta pandemia se tem desenvolvido, e as visões acerca dos futuros que a pós-pandemia pode desenhar.
Em outras palavras, importa refletir sobre o que aprendemos neste processo, e que experiências são relevantes, quer por sublinharem valores negativos, quer por estimularem valores positivos.
Vamos colocando aqui reflexões de membros do OAT/CICS.NOVA e alguns debates e textos que merecem reflexão.
Enviem-nos também os vossos comentários. Obrigado
