MathViz Docstyle Example
This is a small example page for the single_bookdown layout. It is meant to show how a MathViz note can look when written as a document rather than as a short blog post.
Aim
MathViz notes should make mathematical or statistical ideas easier to inspect. A useful page usually combines three things:
- a short conceptual explanation,
- a worked miniature example,
- and a visual or computational interpretation.
Running Example
Suppose we want to explain how a simple linear transformation changes a set of points. Start with a vector:
v = [2, 1]
Then apply a matrix:
A = [1 2]
[0 1]
The transformed vector is:
Av = [4, 1]
The visual lesson is that the point keeps its vertical position, while the horizontal coordinate shifts according to the second component.
Interpretation
The docstyle layout is best for notes where the reader benefits from moving step by step through definitions, examples, figures, and interpretation.
In a finished MathViz page, this section could include an embedded figure, an interactive plot, or a static image generated from R or Python.
Example Table
| Object | Meaning | Visual cue |
|---|---|---|
v |
Original vector | Starting point |
A |
Transformation matrix | Rule of movement |
Av |
Transformed vector | New point |
