Geometry/Algebra 2

All animations are made up of a series of different types of transformations. If an animator wants to move a character or object left/right or up/down all they have to do is reflect the object/character in respect to the x-axis or y-axis. An example of rotations and dilations is in animation is in the Spider-Man animated series.  In the cartoon, as he is flying, he rotates a certain number of degrees through the air. Then if he is going away from the camera he dilates a negative amount.

A tesseract is the 4-dimension of a cube and a hypercube is the n-dimension of a cube. A tesseract is to a cube as a cube is to a square. We will never know internally what a tesseract looks like because we are in the third dimension. To create a cube, you move a square one unit length perpendicular to the plane it lies on, and by doing this you create a three-dimensional cube. Then to create a tesseract, you move the cube one unit length into the fourth-dimension. Charles Howard Hinton was the first to coin the word tesseract, in 1888 in his book A New Era of Thought . After watching many videos and reading a couple of articles, I have to say that tesseracts and hypercubes are such a hard concept to fully understand. I have a simple understanding of what a tesseract is, and how to create a tesseract. But at the same time, it is hard to fully grasp the complete idea of a tesseract. Cause it does not just stop at a tesseract, there is an infinite number of dimensions, which mea...
