I Tried Turning Math Equations into Reality (7-Day Octave Challenge)

Math textbooks make equations look boring, so I gave myself 7 days to bring them to life using GNU Octave. Starting from zero, I moved past standard sine and cosine waves into quadratic curves, higher-degree polynomials, and contour plots. From there, I stepped into 3D mesh objects and created visual shapes purely with math—including the golden ratio spiral, a mathematical heart, and a fully animated butterfly curve. This video documents the entire 7-day learning curve, the syntax struggles, and the satisfaction of watching raw code turn into visual geometry. If you ever thought math was just numbers on paper, this might change your mind.
