Stemformulas.com

During my (ongoing) engineering degree, I've often looked up formulas and been frustrated at the lack of reliable results. Some formulas (usually the easy ones) get their own blurb on Google results, while others are a few clicks away, or are most easily accessed by looking at random university slides on Google images. It felt like, in this day and age, there should be a site that serves the small but noble purpose of being a source of truth for formulas, while leveraging modern website technology to provide a fast and user-friendly experience. So, I made stemformulas.com (with some…

    I wished for a site with a growing list of math problems, I built it2024 · teachyourselfmath.app · ▲384

    Good math problems are hidden inside textbooks and online documents. To keep up with all the sources in the world is hard. For someone who just wants to continuously solve problems, finding and going through all the sources feels like a hassle. I wished for a website that could just dump all the math problems available in the world out there. And if I could filter the problems by topics, that would be beautiful. teachyourselfmath is a side project that was born out of this need. At its core, it is a math PDF extraction engine. The engine has some machine learning going on behind the scenes…

  • Transformer Primitives – A visual explainer you can send to anyoneJun 2026 · understandgpt.xyz · ▲7

    I have had a few conversations in the past year with non-technical folks (traditional finance types, consultants) who asked for a simple explainer on how GPTs work. These people generally have the horsepower to grasp new concepts quickly but don't necessarily have the math background to dig in super deeply and want a stronger framework than "they predict words". I had generally been pointing them to Karpathy, Illustrated Transformer, and other youtube content but I figured something more hands on without the math requirement might be better at explaining questions like "why matrix…

  • A Chrome extension that converts formula images to LaTeX2025 · chromewebstore.google.com · ▲5

    Hey everyone, I recently built a free Chrome extension called Formula to LaTeX that lets you convert any formula from an image, screenshot directly into clean LaTeX code. No signup. Just: 1. Paste or drag & drop an image of the formula 2. Get the LaTeX code instantly 3. Copy it with one click It works great for math, physics, and chemistry formulas, super helpful if you're working on problem sets, papers, or presentations and don’t want to retype complex equations. Would love any feedback! I'm still improving it, so feel free to roast it or share ideas

    I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
