Using AI to motivate students: today I showed my class how to visualize a complex function w = f(z) as a mapping. I asked them -- as a challenge -- to create an animation of the idea. One student vibe coded this:

The movie is me applying z^2 to Murray

A student vibe-coded a complex-function mapper after one class demo
Steven Strogatz, a Cornell mathematician, showed the class how to see w = f(z) as a mapping and set a challenge to animate it. One student built an interactive version that runs in the browser. The clip shows z squared applied to Murray.
