## Intro

Manim is the animation engine behind [3Blue1Brown](https://www.youtube.com/3blue1brown) — the most popular math YouTube channel. It's a Python library for creating precise mathematical animations and explanatory videos programmatically. Define scenes in Python, and Manim renders them as high-quality video. 70,000+ GitHub stars, used by educators and content creators worldwide.

**Best for**: Math educators, technical explainer videos, data visualization animations
**Works with**: Python 3.8+, LaTeX (optional for math notation)
**Setup time**: 5 minutes

## Key Features

- **Mathematical objects**: Equations, graphs, number lines, geometric shapes, 3D surfaces
- **Smooth animations**: Transform, FadeIn, Write, Create, MoveAlongPath, and dozens more
- **Camera control**: Pan, zoom, rotate camera in 2D and 3D scenes
- **LaTeX rendering**: Beautiful mathematical notation via LaTeX
- **Programmatic**: Everything is Python code — version control, parameterize, automate

## Example: Animated Graph

```python
from manim import *

class SineCurve(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        axes = Axes(x_range=[-3, 3], y_range=[-1.5, 1.5])
        graph = axes.plot(lambda x: np.sin(x), color=BLUE)
        label = axes.get_graph_label(graph, label="\\sin(x)")
        self.play(Create(axes), Create(graph), Write(label))
        self.wait()
```
