Does anyone have sources for visual explanations of algorithms (or mathematics) that are even more expressive, more intuitive, maybe aesthetically appealing? Or animation algorithms?
To start a discussion.
I like the database / transaction lock shown to a non-technical person.
You also have many good animations on the Relevant Animation / Visualization Algorithms page.
Here for the sorting algorithms . This gives some nice animations to see how each type works in the process.
Animal is a cross-platform animation tool for animating algorithms.
Animation scripts for a large number of common algorithms and data structures are available on the animation repository website.
Do a Google search [insert algorithm name] and "applet". Many scientists and other similar people have made Java applets to demonstrate how algorithms work. You can probably find an example for almost any published algorithm.
