The figures below illustrates the interpretation of the 95% confidence interval in frequentist bayesian: If we repeatedly take samples and construct a 95% confidence interval with the same method, about 95% of those intervals would contain

I just started a small giveaway on the LaTeX.org forum for the new 2026 edition of the LaTeX Beginner’s Guide. You can win: The fun part is that it’s not just “click and win.” I wanted to make it more community-oriented, so participants are…
I changed the first code, a little less elegant, but the pulley was not scaling up when I needed to \def\scale{1.8} % scale factor \def\h{0.6} % mass height (base value) \def\w{0.8} % mass width (base value) \def\R{0.3} % pulley radius (bas…
Hello, I am trying to modify the Torricelli’s experiment part to make a measuring cylinder. I have managed to do the following: % TUBE \draw[vertical water] (-\rx,\h) |-++ (2*\rx,\ty) –++ (0,-\ty); \draw[water] (0,\h+\ty) ellipse ({\rx} and…
Hi Izaak. Thank you for all your contributions on this site, they are really nice! I would like to use one of these figures in my thesis, do you have a preferred citation in this case? Cheers, Marcus
The third, improved, and extended edition of the LaTeX Beginner’s Guide was published this month, March 2026. Compared to the first edition from 2011 and the second edition from 2021, the book has been thoroughly revised. The code examples
In reply to Matthew MacKenzie. Hi Matthew, Thanks a lot for the correction! I updated the figures also with the latest mass values from the PDG’s 2025 Review and took the upper limits on the neutrino masses from this Wikipedia page. This al…
Hello Izaak. Love your work but I noticed a minor mistake in your images of the Standard Model (https://tikz.net/sm_particles). The mass of the muon neutrino must be more than that of the electron neutrino but less than that of the tau neut…
This is an illustration of Desargues’s theorem. It says that two triangles are in perspective axially if and only if they are in perspective centrally. By S. Bau; Sun Nov 2 12:53:39 AKST 2025 Your email address will not be published. Save m…

I thought it would be cool to show how to make stereographically nested toroidal solenoids. Essentially, we make stereographically nested tori, and then we find their solenoid. In the code below there are functions which determine the two r…
