Our note
A vertical explainer on Fourier series that starts with one spinning circle tracing a sine wave, stacks 39 circles into a square wave, then uses 21 epicycles to draw a treble clef; made from one prompt with HyperFrames.

fourier series were hard to learn back in university (2 years ago) and they are fun! what unlocks @HyperFrames_ + @claudeai Opus 5.5 is that you can get the best explainer videos just with 1 prompt you are curious about something? ask claude!
