A Tour in the Wonderland of Math with Python

A collection of python scripts for drawing beautiful figures or animating interesting algorithms in mathematics.

This repository will be always under construction since there are too many interesting things in math that can be shown by code. Pull requests, issues, questions, and suggestions are all welcomed!
