Manim Tutorial Series E04: Updater Functions | Mathematical Animations WITH EASE

Manim is a free and open-source, community-maintained Python library for creating (mathematical) animations originally started by Grant "3blue1brown" Sanderson. This tutorial series is a guided tour through Manim's features. This fourth episode is all about updater functions -- a way to make mobjects dependent on others.
