Convolution of Two Pulses
This interactive simulator explores Convolution (pulses) in Math Visualization. Two rectangular pulses; overlap length at τ = 0. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Best once you already know the basic definitions and want to build intuition. Typical context: Math Visualization.

How it works
Convolution measures how much two functions overlap when one is reversed and shifted. For equal-height boxes, the integral is the length of the intersection — a building block for smoothing and linear systems.
