The Minton Analytics Toolkit

Description: A collection of internal references, mnemonics, and mathematical shortcuts designed to streamline data analysis and statistical modeling.

Features: Unit Circle shortcuts, Logarithm laws, the Empirical (68-95-99.7) Rule, and De Moivre derivations.

External References & Recommendations

The following resources have been instrumental in my own journey through mathematics and data analysis. These sites represent some of the most innovative and clear-headed thinking in the scientific community today.

  • 3Blue1Brown – Exceptional visual explanations of higher-level math and physics concepts.
  • Desmos – Desmos is the gold standard for modern mathematical visualization. Beyond simple plotting, it allows for dynamic exploration through sliders and animations, making it possible to witness how changing a single variable transforms a function in real-time. It is an essential tool for intuition-building in algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.
  • Desmos | 3D – The 3D Grapher brings a new dimension to mathematical analysis.2 It allows users to plot multivariable functions, surfaces, and vectors in an interactive $XYZ$ space. For anyone studying multivariable calculus or physics, Desmos 3D provides the spatial clarity needed to understand complex intersections and volumes that are difficult to visualize on a flat page.
  • Quanta Magazine – Quanta is a premier, editorially independent publication that covers the latest developments in mathematics, theoretical physics, and biology. Its articles go deep into the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of modern research, offering clear, long-form explanations of complex discoveries that are reshaping our understanding of the universe.
  • Detexify – Detexify is an intuitive ‘handwriting recognition’ tool for the LaTeX community. Instead of searching through massive tables of symbols, you simply draw the symbol you are looking for with your mouse or finger. The tool then provides the corresponding LaTeX command and the specific package (like amssymb) required to render it. It is an essential time-saver for anyone documenting complex proofs or building a site like Minton Analytics.
  • Adam Boocher’s Site – Engaging short-form math content on YouTube and TikTok, making advanced proofs accessible and intuitive. This is a link to his web site.
