Mobius Transformations Demystified

Art of Problem Solving:

I found a nice animation explaining Mobius transformations. I feel like a lot of mathematics is like this: There's actually a very simple idea underlying what looks like a complicated concept. (I only learned recently that geometric inversion can be modeled by swapping the north and south hemispheres of the Riemann sphere.)
