It’s not super intuitively easy

I’m trying to rotate a cube RN and it’s not working

Visualizing 3d is a mental exercise not a visual exercise unless you do it with your eyes open

Rotating it is fairly easy it’s just making the picture clear lol

The cube goes WEEE

Oh god maybe I can’t visualise 3D

Just do lines instead of shapes!

It doesn’t move right

Pretend it does

Your brain isn’t autocad or whatever

It warps like a visualisationof a rotation of a 4D cube when I try to spin it in 3D

imo it’s way easier when I’m not trying to do it tbhtbhtbhtbhtb

Right now I’m imaging zug standing on the spinning cube

like rn it’s difficult, but when I wanted to visualize an intuitive idea for lagrange multipliers, i could do so (after a lot of time though because figuring out what it was took a while)

i don’t remember what lagrange multipliers are :relieved:

i should probably start relearning multi at some point

you have some function f, and a constraint function g. you want to find values of x,y,z, etc such that f is maximized/minimized, and g = some constant.

to find it, you set the gradient of f equal to lambda times the gradient of g, where lambda is any constant

then you solve for solutions and test if they work
