   Have yet to go through Evan's post, but as you point out, the equations might be the most accessible way to truly comprehend relationships between 4 or more variables. However, libraries like Tangle are powerful tools to visualize and

   Thanks for the feedback. There is a lot of work that still needs to be done to improve the UI for these tools, but our goal is to build a library of such visual tools for tens of relevant topics.

   Precisely. In physics, testing extreme cases and boundary conditions is one of the first ways to get a better understanding of a system. Tangle can be a great tool to empower learners to do this visually.

    We are wholly inspired by Bret's work, and are currently playing around with the tangle library to help students visualize the concept of area, perimeter, and volume. Here is a preview: http://tuvalabs.com/resources&#x2

    As someone learning web development, I'd love to get some insights into how one could build this.

    I am learning django/web development, and will likely be launching my app in the wild soon. A link that details out how to manage deployment and source code management using git would be tremendously helpful.

    Feynman clearly mentions in "Surely You are Joking..." that he got turned down from Columbia for his undergraduate degree due to Jewish quotas that existed among universities at that time. So yes, it certainly mattered in America in the 194

    I am still building my product, but I will be using a lot of basic physics (and science in general) for it. Please get in touch if you would like to hear more.
