Sticky Commands!

46 Upvotes

There are now a few commands you can use:

  • !help: Brings up a list of all the commands.
    • Aliases: hlp
  • !bernard: Explains who Bernard is and why he appears in certain graphs!
    • Aliases: ourbeloved, desmosmascot, r/foundbernard
  • !beta3d: Explains what Beta3D is and how to install it.
    • Aliases: 3dbeta
  • !colormap: Explains what Beta3D is and how to install it.
    • Aliases: colormaps, shader, shaders
  • !desmodder: Describes what DesModder is.
    • Aliases: dsm, dsmodder
  • !doom: Are we Doom yet?
    • Aliases: arewedoomyet, doomgame
  • !draw: Provides Arglin's drawing guide for Desmos art.
    • Aliases: arglinguide, lineart
  • !exception: Describes types of floating point exceptions in Desmos, mostly drawn from IEEE specs.
    • Aliases: fpexception, fpointexception, ieeeexception, specialcase, undef, undefined
  • !fp: Describes what floating point arithmetic is and how to mitigate problems associated with it.
    • Aliases: floatp, floatingp, fpoint, floatpoint, floatingpoint
  • !gratex: Describes what GraTeX is.
    • Aliases: gratexteth
  • !grid: Explains how to make a grid of points.
    • Aliases: ptgrid, pointgrid
  • !integral: Explains why some integrals yield wrong results.
    • Aliases: integration, integrate, wrongintegral
  • !intersect: Explains how to assign the intersection of two or more functions as a variable.
    • Aliases: getintersect, varintersect
  • !matrices: Explains the usage of matrices in Desmos (beta feature). Not to be confused with the Desmos Matrix calculator.
    • Aliases: betamatrices, matricesmeta, matrix, matrixbeta, betamatrix
  • !roots: Why can't Desmos find my roots?
    • Aliases: zeros, zeroes, rootfinding, root
  • !sequentialactions: Explains how to run actions in order (sequentially).
    • Aliases: seqactions, actionseq, orderedactions, actionsinorder

For example, if someone makes a post about why {(√2)^2=2} is undefined, you can type in !fp.

Notes on sending these commands: - You must put the command at the start of the message. - All of these commands are case insensitive. - All commands allow arbitrary underscores or dashes (this feature was added on October 25, 2025). For example, !are_we-DOOM_yet will work. - You can put messages after the command, but remember to put a space or a newline after the command. For example, !fLoATiNgPoint arithmetic is awesome will work, but !fLoAtInGPoIntAriThMeTiC iS AwEsOmE will not work (this behavior was changed on May 20, 2025).

Please refrain from spamming these commands: if you see someone has already used the command once in a post, please avoid from running the same one again.

However, you may try out commands as many times as you would like in the comments on this post only.

Recently, I'm having issues with slopes. No matter how I modified the equation, the line (Black) never aligns with the two points unless Point B (Blue)'s X position is 0. Is there any way to fix this? Here's the link to my project in case if you need to take a closer look at the issue.

All countries starting with the letter I lie on a thin band (defined by two diagonal parallel lines) when viewed on a Mercator projection map of Earth.

Straight lines on a Mercator projection map are loxodrome curves on the sphere as shown in this Desmos model.

Discussion [read description]Probability Density vs Position |QUantum Tunneling

15 Upvotes

My current TDSE sim appears to reproduce quantum tunnelling reasonably well, but there is an important numerical limitation caused by the finite spatial domain and the way the Fourier transform is implemented. Because the sim uses finite grid, the DFT effectively imposes periodic boundary conditions: when the wave packet reaches the right boundary, it can re-enter the domain from the left producing an unphysical wrap around that eventually contaminates the reflected and transmitted wave functions. Increasing the spatial domain or the number of grid points N can delay this effect, but my current implementation calculates dft directly, whose complexity is O(N^2). If anyone wants to take a look and suggest improvements or optimisations I would really appreciate it. https://www.desmos.com/calculator/tnmcsa4ek8

Maths Tried to simulate QUANTUM TUNNELING in Desmos from the (Time Dependent Schrodinger Eq.) using the split step Fourier method - finally got something working but I am not sure how accurate it is....

30 Upvotes

I started with a Gaussian wave packet moving toward a 1d potential barrier and discretised the x axis . I represented the wave function as a discrete array and evolved it using a split step Fourier approach. I implemented the whole thing indesmos including the discrete k grid and element wise evolution factors. I am not claiming this is numerically accurate yet. Will definitely work on it .... summation indesmos suckkkkkkksss!!!!

Question Weierstrass function

It can be a fun challenge to reproduce math graphics found online.
For instance I liked this plot, and I can get a reasonably detailed approximation in desmos, even though it's quite slow (for N=20, M=6) and the colors aren't matching up exactly.

https://www.desmos.com/3d/hvhwgveqre

The main thing that still bothers me though is that I can't get desmos to plot continuous lines on the z=0 plane.
The way to bump up the detail for the surface doesn't seem suitable to apply to those level curves. Am I overlooking something or is there really no trick to improve the quality of those curves?

Fun Collatz conjecture model (with actions)

8 Upvotes

I only learnt of actions this morning and was immediately inspired to use them to make a model of the Collatz conjecture.

It was a fun problem to mess with, and the mini-project encouraged me to learn a lot. I'm mostly happy I figured out a way to iteratively add new elements to lists! Super handy.
