Community for : 1.3 years

We are in a golden age of mathematics exposition, with YouTube videos with attractive animations showing both manipulations and diagrams. Not just videos. Amateur creators can make a webpage with SVG or canvas and JavaScript animation, to bring mathematics to life. Post your best finds, your own creations, and any mathematics that you wish to discuss. Old school static mathematics content is also welcome.

Starts by explaining meromorphic functions with pretty colored pictures. Moves on to parameterizing a circle with sine and cosine. Then it moves in for the kill, trying to rupture cerebral aneurysms by parameterizing the complex torus with the Weierstrass P functions just like it did for the circle. But instead of x^2 + y^2=1, it is y^2 = 4x^3 + 4x, an elliptic curve.
