Monkey-patching graciously
Monkey-patching is a powerful tool in programming. In this article, I used techniques of Ruby metaprogramming to define a series of methods
def_after
,def_before
, etc. to help monkey-patching. They look graciously in that we can use it to shorten the codes for monkey-patching (avoiding aliasing and repeating codes).- Categories: programming

Hyperellipsoids in barycentric coordinates
In this article, I introduce the barycentric coordinates: it is an elegant way to represent geometric shapes related to a simplex. By using it, given a simplex, we can construct a hyperellipsoid with the properties: its surface passes every vertex of the simplex, and its tangent hyperplane at each vertex is parallel to the hyperplane containing all other vertices.

Use complex numbers as canonical variables
In this article, I try exploring an idea: using complex numbers to combine pairs of canonical variables into complex variables: . It turns out that we can write canonical equations , Poisson brackets , and canonical transformations in these complex numbers. Finally, I show two examples of using them in real problems: a free particle, and a harmonic oscillator.
