If math teachers taught like you and did coding, the words "when would i ever use this in the real world" would be a bit meaningless. I love your videos.

I've been coding for more than 15 years, I got burned out, with these tutorials, I'm falling in love again with coding again, just like the old days. Thank you so much!

You make learning programming so entertaining Dan, you ROCK!!!

I would love to see a processing sketch that graphs Dan's heartbeat when he's doing these challenges

This looks absolutely amazing using Unity's Line Renderer. I've had many teachers, none of them come close to you. You're an absolute gem.

That's pretty awesome. It is a testament to the success of the Processing environment, but also a triumph in terms of a tutorial for the Lorenz attractor and being able to explain what it is and get an interesting visualization of it on the screen without a lot of pain. Great job, Daniel!

I learn so much with you! God damn. At first I thought this was kind of a kid channel. Because his theme is unicorns and rainbows. But I was wrong. It does have a more friendly theme, which only adds to the channel, but the content is very solid. I like it very much!

I know absolutely nothing about coding. To be honest, I don't know the first rule of it. It has always been my dream, coding games for entertainment and programs to simplify things. I have I.T. as a subject next year, hoping it could give me some insight on coding, even if it's a minimum. I have a book full of ideas for games I want create, sadly, I can't just jump into it without any knowledge. I watch your videos, because I like the feeling of knowing that I will be able to do this one day if I work hard enough, and I love how code looks and feels. It amazes me. Thank you Daniel.

"Send me your coding challenges!" I would like to learn more about reaction-diffusion or navier-stokes in a Processing context. Since you're asking. :D Great series. As usual.

Thank you so much for this. Love your enthusiasm, energy, and of course the clarity with which you explained all of this. I am having to study attractors in general and this one in particular for a dynamical systems class I am taking, and so far I was just seeing boring static pictures and graphs along with the theory. Creating and watching a live animation literally just made the subject come alive for me, haha... again thanks, this was great.

I love the way of him teaching so passionately. Full of energy!

add "rotateY((hue/255)/360);" at line 44 or 45 right after "hue +=1;" and the curve will auto-rotate.

One of the best/most lovely Teacher/elder brother on the internet!

That is great. Learning how to implement mathematics in code, and learning more advanced programming techniques in one video. Thanks Daniel, it's fantastic as always :).

You are flipping dope! Like the Bob Ross of codified art.

Your videos are great! Have you thought about doing a video on potential path planning? It's quite simple and lots of fun to play with.

I made this exercise with 16 at 1994, it was an huge success in class. Used clipper and same graphical new clipper library that I got don’t know were, I think it had some mouse capability too. But then Delphi appears... This blog really captures the joy of programming that many times comes from this small projects. Continue the good work. The number of videos is impressive and already a very good library and an amazing starting point. Potencial value is huge.

I'm reading James Gleick's Chaos right now, and I became a bit spellbound by the Strange Attractor, and I've recently started learning about Processing and playing with it, so I googled "Lorenz Strange Attractor Processing" and the miracle of this video came up. Thank you so much for making it. A true dream come true.

Crazy cool! I learned so much that I never got to in math in high school: Lorenz attractors, differential equations, etc. Some people don't like Dan's approach and his quirkiness, but it all works great for me!

I had to take a differential equations math course in college. A whole semester, and I was never really told what a differential equation was or when it was used. In 1.5 minutes you told me what my professor couldn't in 5 months. Truly amazing sir

This gives me a crazy new perception of the universe. Maybe were just in a 3D simulation, and the Big Bang was just God finishing his processing sketch and clicking run. 🤯

Beautiful tutorial! I'm a High School Student with a keen interest in coding and computer science and this tutorial has been tremendously useful in teaching me how to generate the Lorenz Attractor by myself for a project :) Thank you!!

Never thought someone could make differential equations entertaining. You have done it.

You make programming so entertaining, I hope my professors too😢. Keep making videos Mr. Dan and spread that attitude of yours.

I've recently found out about your channel. It is amazing. Your videos are the only +10 min videos I can sit through and watch completely. You're both entertaining and informative. The whole range of things you're doing in these videos have convinced me to pick up computer science as my dual major!!

This channel is the most underrated thing. Thank you so much for these videos!

These are so great. I'm glad i found them. they have taught me so much and deserve a lot more views.

You are the most inspiring person 🙌🏽 when it comes to coding. Thank you for your great videos.

Best tutorial and coding KZfaqr.

Thanks Daniel, I finally got the differential essence! Haha, I didn't expect that to happen in a coding challenge. Good job!

Thanks to you and Unreal Engine I finally understood how to use "ifs" hahaha I'm learning by my own, please don't be rude

You are so much better than the University of Sydney, I appreciate all the help you've given me!!

Wow, I just created a vm for macOS to make my project with xCode after hours of installations and settings. Now it's 4:45 am and I suddenly watch programming challenge on youtube... Pressed the subscribe button

Best videos ever! Love watching these.

you are just awesome. you encourage me take on new challenges and finish them as fast as possible.

This is amazing. I'm starting to get attracted to differential integration. Thank you.

Okay it might have taken me around 30 minutes but i made a functioning Lorenz Attractor! It works beautifully. Great videoseries. I guess the best way to learn programming is to first watch thenewboston's videos, and when you completely understand what you're doing you can proceed to these. Awesome life.

Man you are very very good, thanks to this presentation I managed to finally get some great info on Lorenz's atractor and finish my school work. Thank you!!

I really like, this kind of live coding. I can see you each time add a piecec of code and how the new added code make a new effect to the whole program and show it as a graphic .

This is so neat. Thanks a ton for making these vids!

Hello!! Just wanted you to know that you are really helping people with this channel. I am a physics student and I've been trying to learn programming for a while but didn't reallly feel something to ...... get me hyped for it, you know? That is, until i found your nature of code book on the web and it's awesome. Even more so, you got those vids with really interesting stuff and awesome explanations - really good way of teaching and talking to people to make them understand! So, what I wanted to say, thanks so much for everything you are doing!!!!

Dude this is such a cool technique.

Really enjoying this series - One crit - butterflies flapping their wings anywhere don't cause eruptions - storms or droughts - yes - eruptions - nahhhh

I was learning java and android development but after seeing your challenges i decided to tackle with web development a little but and i found in very interesting .. You're an inspiration and you make learning so much fun

Amazing work ! Please dont stop doing this! you are an inspiration!!

Youre really cool, keep up the awesome work!

This is so useful!! I taught myself javascript and java mainly with these videos

I love you Daniel so much u saved my PhD with ur courses, 100 of Daniel in this world then we r all okay lol

I know it is emotional but you are super exciting! Thank you for making learning to code so fun!

You are like the coding Mister Rogers. Great videos.

I just witnessed the new "old spice" advert before this and I can't stop laughing

That is simply amazing!

"Nothing is broken yet" - Every programmers' remorse

Loving these videos!

Thanks for doing what you're doing in the way you're doing it :)

On my next day off I'll have to mess around with this :D Seems awesome

This video inspired me to implement a Lorenz attractor in my arduiono and a RGB Led. Where x = red Y = green Z = blue It was very underwhelming.

why the hell did 48 people dislike this video, dude this guy is a genius and a great teacher... creepy 48 people

Smooth edit :) As always it's a pleasure to watch your videos. I both learn code technics and some interesting physic bits. Enjoy Shanghai and come back stronger than ever haha

This guy is a genius...

I'm so glad I found your videos!

Nonlinear is not related to "small change in initial conditions leads to big changes in whole solution", it is related with stability. But, in the overall it's a great video, when i have time i will learn this. I simply loved it, if i could make a sugestion, theres anyway to access an "app" written in "processing" via QR code in cellphone? If it is a way, it will be very great advantage in physics and math classes.

Great illustration!

Daniel Shiffman, Saraj Raval, and Sentdex, you guys are my heroes. Am I missing anyone else guys?

Very awesome video! You are very talented! Keep up the good work!

He protecc He atttacc But mostly importantly He *a t r a c c*

You are a wizard.

Double is just like a float, but only more decimals... Great to know that the float is sufficient for such things. By the way: you're not '[merely] some person, here on the internet, programming colors and things on the screen,' you are a gifted instructor of mathematics and coding and have revived my interest in this subject. It takes away the daunting air associated with programming differentials and displaying such concepts on the screen through the expansive processing library... Even in 3d! Wow, I didn't know how powerful the existing java libraries were within processing. The possibilities are endless... Any chance of you showing us how to program a binomial expansion or Lorentz Transformation using these tools? Thank you!!

I have to say: Awesome Dan!

This is so informative! Thank you!

I don't know why I'm watching all your videos, I don't understand a word of what you're talking about and I'm only a med student, but these videos are so interesting.

this video is so fucking amazing, great work!

Finished finals, now I can play with processing :)

Wow he does it in exactly 5 min and 22 sec. Look at the timer at the end of the video!

You the real MVP fam 😂

very useful and easy understanding, thanks

In your introduction, ≈ 2 min - Great idea to illustrate a real-world use of (ordinary) differential equations (ODE's). Except it's the *acceleration* (2nd derivative, d²y/dt²) of the mass, not its *velocity* (1st derivative, dy/dt) that is proportional to the displacement of the mass. But the main idea you wanted to get across, still gets across, IMO. And incidentally, the ODE that governs that mass-on-a-spring system, is one of the most important (and ubiquitous!) in all of physics - it's the Simple Harmonic Oscillator (SHO) equation, and its solutions are sine waves. It's the mathematical reason for there being so many sine waves in our lives... PS. My dad was a meteorologist who develeoped much of the early NWP (numerical weather prediction) computer models; and he once mentioned Ed Lorenz and his findings regarding chaos. Ultimately, this is why, no matter how powerful computers become, no matter how precise and how dense the observations going into the model are, there is some time range beyond which weather forecasting will always be impossible. And that's just one area of physics that's affected by chaotic behavior; there are scads of others. So this is a very important topic. Plus, you can make all these pretty pictures ;-) Fred

i haven't gone through every comment to see if this has been suggested, but my immedate reaction as to how i would color it would be based on the distance the vertexes are from each other. I guess that gets a little meta too, 'cuz then you are looking at the rate it is changing at, or in other words, it dirivative, and you are already doing things with dirivitives. anyways, this was a great vid.

Thank you. Wonderful lesson!

Thanks this was great!

Yey! At long last, a RAINBOW! :)

That’s amazing

Great course! By the way, what font are you using?

Nice done! But my friend programmed a lorenz attractor too. So I'm familiar

You are a genius...

Amazing!

This is awesome!

Dear, it's a good very good tutorial. But I can't move around the object by using the mouse, how you can zoom and move around the shape by using the mouse?

These are really cool videos! Thanks for sharing. Could you do videos illustrating more complex physics phenomena? Maybe a double pendulum video or one with Lagrangian motion?

You are the best !!!! really thanks!

“These systems can go off to infinity” or words to that effect. No. The Lorenz attractor is called an attractor because it attracts, and it turns out all initial conditions produce solutions tending to it. However, if you implement an approximate solution using Euler’s method, you need to worry about the linear stability of the method. Nothing to do with the non-linearity of the problem.

great video...! thanks Dan for such amazing videos .. I get so much to learn..

i love you. thanks for everything.

Omg this man is a genious

Don't you just love how us nerds spend our time on visualizing random formulae?

Hi :D i have set a to 1.0, x to 0.02, y to 0.03 and z to 0.05 with dt = 0.03 it showed nice fibonacci spiral :) Changing z, x and y gives no difference, only fibonacci spirals. The butterfly also was made from spirals acting in different way. What does that mean? Is there hidden fibonacci in equation?

Great video! Btw what is your theme/font/fontsize for the ide

great video. how do you rotate/scale your sketch with you mouse tho? (im very new to processing, as a matter of fact i solely started looking into it because of this video)

You and P5 are inspring.

Awesome 😊😃
