Interactive Demo
Interactive Matrix Dynamics
Interactive Matrix Dynamics is a free, interactive learning demo from the Applied Linear Algebra and Least Squares course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Affine functions, Systems of linear equations, State-space model, Population dynamics. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 2 buttons, direct drag interaction and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Linear Equations and Dynamical Systems” section of the course.

How to use this demo
- Click and drag directly on the canvas to manipulate the scene.
- Use the “Static: Ax = b”, “Dynamic: xₜ₊₁ = Axₜ” buttons to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Affine functions
- Systems of linear equations
- State-space model
- Population dynamics
Frequently asked questions
What does the Interactive Matrix Dynamics demo do?
Covers the representation of systems of equations and the modeling of time-varying states. Interactive Matrix Dynamics turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What Applied Linear Algebra and Least Squares concept does Interactive Matrix Dynamics teach?
Covers the representation of systems of equations and the modeling of time-varying states. It focuses on Affine functions, Systems of linear equations, State-space model, Population dynamics from the “Linear Equations and Dynamical Systems” section.
What can I control in Interactive Matrix Dynamics?
You can drag elements directly on the canvas; the “Static: Ax = b”, “Dynamic: xₜ₊₁ = Axₜ” buttons run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Interactive Matrix Dynamics fit into the Applied Linear Algebra and Least Squares course?
This course provides a practical introduction to linear algebra, focusing on the core concepts of vectors, matrices, and least squares methods. It emphasizes real-world applications such as machine learning, control sys… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Linear Equations and Dynamical Systems” section.

What will I understand better after using Interactive Matrix Dynamics?
You'll build intuition for Affine functions, Systems of linear equations, State-space model, Population dynamics — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Applied Linear Algebra and Least Squares alone.
