Module One Post Four (Math In Film Industry)

This link talks about what stages an idea has to go through to become a movie or video. The type of people that have to work on it and what kind of math. For example, they wrote that animators use math the most in the film industry and that they mostly use trigonometry, algebra, integral calculus, subdivision surfaces, and harmonic coordinates.

Module 1 Post 4 [ The Mathematics of Music ]

The Mathematics of Music

This site talks about pitch, octaves and harmonies. I think this site is a good place for me to study my subject because the author, Jeffrey Rosenthal, is a professor in the Department of Statistics (DoS) at the University of Toronto. In one section of this article, it states that the reason some notes work well and some don’t. ( Example: C and G sounds good while C and E flat don’t sound well) This is because mathematics decide whether they sound good or not. Each note has a different pitch and frequency that determines if they are compatible with other notes. All notes can sound good under context (It all depends on the key of the piece).

Module One Draft Two (Hockeymath)

Cite used: http://www.nbclearn.com/nhl/cuecard/56922

In this site it provides information that was mentioned in previous sites, however it goes  deeply into extreme ideas/concepts. Some examples are Kinematics, Newton’s three laws of motion, Hockey geometry, vectors, impulse/collisions and Projectile motion. All these subjects are explained and visualised by video, unfortunately I could not get a hold of the links of these videos. Continuing, this website displays a further/more detailed look into hockey, which i believe will be able to help me when looking into more complex ideas of math. Great site, definitely suggest it to others, as it is a good visual representation of how hockey is related to math.

Module One Post Five

For my fifth post, i decided not to use a website. I used my Uncle and his knowledge. As you may know, my uncle is an engineer and he absolutely loves architecture! Something that inspired me to research this specific topic was my uncle and all the engineering and building shows. I have always been interested in building and making new things. When i was younger, i always had a strong passion for Lego. I had a huge bucket filled with several Lego pieces and i use to build a variety of different things using these Lego pieces. Now when I became a lot older i realised that building and creativity all relate to each other in some way. Without creativity and being unique the world would be so boring and you would not be looking forward to doing and trying new things. I really hope i can one day study one of these jobs because they are very mind blowing topics to study and learn about! My sister wants to become and engineer since shes graduating this year so who knows? maybe one day i will follow my sister and uncles footsteps!

Module One Post Five (Mathematicians)

Mathematicians use art with math. They decide on a shape they want to draw, and measure it on all sides. Then they calculate all the sides and the results would be adding all the sides of the shape. This is a sign of art because Mathematicians get to sketch out the shape they want to use, and they have to measure it so it’s equal to all sides. I learned that it’s also called a golden ratio and that a artist Leonardo Da Vinci used it for his drawings.

Module One Post Five (Math in Basketball)

https://www.online-basketball-drills.com/basketball-shooting-drills-five-spot-shooting-0410

This website show five different spot and different distances. A basketball player shoot from different place with different speed. They analyze the data and calculate the average. It show the range of the place.

This helps me because you shoot from different spot and it show your average of different spot you are shooting. It’s important to get rebounds for your teammate so is more advantage for your team. It’s also important to stay focus while you are shooting and defending because you don’t want to make your team angry.

Module One Post Four (Tessellation and Math)

Tessellation is a kind of pattern that repeats itself. It’s also called tiling in short form. The reason why I’m choosing this topic is because I think that it goes well with math and art. Tiling has math in it because of the shapes in the drawing or picture. So if people would try to make it as a math equation it would be them measuring the sides of the pattern. What i learned from this topic is that people could use different tiles to make a math equation and that it could be useful for different shapes and sizes.

Module One Post Four

http://hereelsewhere.com/see/10-architectural-finds-in-vancouver/

You can find many places filled with architecture around the world! However i wanted to research some places in Vancouver where you can find some fascinating buildings. I came across this website that had the 10 ten places in Vancouver to find architecture. Some places that they listed on this website were: Crown life building, Evergreen building, Marine building, Waterfall building, Pharmaceutical sciences building. A few of these buildings surprised me because i have actually been to a few of them before. Crown life building is a 20 story glass office. Its wedge shaped floor plates make it a graceful on the Georgia stretch. Evergreen building sits along the blue glass towers of Coal Harbour.The building has actually managed to resist hard pressures to convert the structure. When you get to actually stand next to these buildings or look at them it makes the experience ten times cooler because its incredible to see what architecture has done to our planet in such an amazing and wonderful way!

Module One Post Three (Patterns and Mathematics)

Patterns and Mathematics are very common, because it’s easy to understand. When you’re trying to explain to someone about math, it would be very difficult. Patterns and Math can also be related to art in a way. Patterns can be like colorful shapes, which is a sign of art. There are many examples of patterns. There could be numbers of patterns, or shapes of patterns. What I learned from this website, is that many people can understand the meaning of pattern in math.
