Math-To-Manim Project Description

What is the project about?

Math-To-Manim is a project that leverages AI (DeepSeek and Google Gemini) to automatically generate mathematical animations using the Manim library. It aims to visualize complex mathematical and physics concepts through animation, going beyond what humans can easily visualize.

What problem does it solve?

The project addresses the difficulty of visualizing complex mathematical relationships and concepts, especially across different areas of math and physics. It helps bridge the gap between abstract mathematical formulas and visual understanding. It also automates the process of creating educational animations, which can be time-consuming. It also attempts to solve spatial reasoning problems.

What are the features of the project?

AI-Powered Animation Generation: Uses DeepSeek AI and Google Gemini to generate Manim code from mathematical concepts.
LaTeX Handling: Effectively processes and renders LaTeX formulas within animations.
Dual-Stream Output: Generates both animation code and accompanying study notes (in LaTeX and Markdown).
Animation Validation: Includes automated scene graph analysis to validate animations before rendering.
Documentation Engine: Provides documentation in both Markdown and LaTeX formats.
Real-time Reasoning Display: Shows the AI's thought process in a chat interface.
Various Pre-built Animations: Includes examples like Cosmic Probability, Electroweak Symmetry, QED, and the Gale-Shapley algorithm.
Multiple Rendering Options: Supports different quality settings (480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K) and formats (GIF, webm).
Spatial Reasoning Test: Includes a test to visualize spatial relationships.
Git LFS: Uses Git Large File Storage to handle large media files.
