This website talks about geometry in perspective. In old, famous paintings you can clearly see how the artist used geometry in his/her work.
This art piece by Paulo Uccello called ‘Perspective Drawing of a Chalice’, shows how even back then, geometry was used in paintings. Artists always value how geometry can help their art become realistic, and visually pleasing.

There are a few rules to when it comes with linear perspective. One, is objects that are closer seem bigger than farther away. The second one is parallel lines connect at the horizon.Even though in real life the lines don’t intersect, but that just how the parallel lines translate onto the paper.
When you are drawing linear perspective, you really need to think about how big and small object are in the scene.
Here is the video the website provided for us to further understand the topic.
This website goes through the steps on how to draw in perspective. You need these basic factors when you are drawing this way. Every time you are drawing perspective (it doesn’t matter what kind) you need a vanishing point, and a horizon line. For one point, only horizontal, diagonal, and vertical. For two point, you can only use diagonal, and vertical (excluding the horizon line).
In one point there is only one vanishing point and for two, its two points. All of the architectural lines should point to either of the vanishing points. If one of them are pointing somewhere else, you are doing something wrong.
This website also talks about zero point perspective, which I haven’t seen in any of the other 10 websites I have visited. In this case, there is no vanishing point, so there are lots of organic lines (non geometrical). It is used in landscape drawings where there are no parallel lines.
Basically, everything close should be big, and get smaller the further it is away. There are 4 types of perspective that are one point, two point, three point, and zero point.
Sparco is a very well known brand in the karting world. They make everything you need to keep you safe from helmets to shoes, rib protectors, and even special steering wheels specifically for karting. There website, sparcousa.com, has information about every single one of their products, specs and all. Some of my karting gear is Sparco branded, including my ItalKart team suit and my helmet.
Sparco make high quality products which I personally use. If I do something related to kart safety, this is where I can go. Having all the information and specs of equipment that I use all in the same place is going to be really helpful and speed up the process of the project.
MG tires is a brand of go karting tires. There are the market leader in go kart tire sales and produce many different tire compounds for any time of karting. Their website, mgtires.com, gives you all the information you need to know about their tires. There is even a tips section and tire compound scale. If you need any information on mg tires, this is where you should go.
This website will be able to help me a lot for this project. If I decide to go down the street with anything involving tires, I can use all of the information given on this website to my advantage. The tire compound scale and tips sections are also very useful, giving info on tire safety and mounting/dismounting of the tires. This site has everything I need on tires.
This website isn’t associated with lacrosse or math specifically, but has useful information.
Even though it’s not directly associated with any of these things it can still relate to my topic. Following through with a pass associates with almost all sports, meaning if you don’t follow through with a pass it may not go where you want it to. It relates to math because passes relate to angles.
This website clearly displays howe math is used in lacrosse. It explains which format of math is used and how it applies.
It will help me greatly finding what type of math need to look for so that i can expand on that. Using other sites and sources.

The US is planning on having lasers as weapons. Nanotechnology plays a huge role in lasers and that means that nanotechnology will help in warfare. Right now most people are thinking of ballistic missiles and other nuclear weapons because they can destroy massive amounts of land. The good things about laser technology are that they can stun or deactivate something without killing it. With missiles, everything gets blown up and no peace can be reached. This means that if a tank was coming to attack, people with laser technology could deactivate the tank without killing the people inside so that war will be less deadly.
The reason why some governments are trying to do this is that they do not want to harm people with war. China is leading with making nanotechnology so they could have the upper hand in future wars. Other places that are trying to get more nanotechnology in war are Mexico, India, Iran, and Thailand.
Pros and Cons of Nanotechnology
This is a helpful website because it provides information about nanotechnology and it provides both sides of the story (pros and cons). Some pros are that nanotechnology can make more efficient energy sources and they can be smaller so that is good to conserve space. Also, medicine is better with nanotechnology because they can reduce side effects. Some cons of nanotechnology are other trade markets will fall because nanotechnology will be more efficient. Weapons can now be more powerful with Nanotechnology. It is expensive to develop.
A chromatic scale has twelve different pitches with semitones in between. C Major goes like this: C,D,E,F,G,A,B and then C. But C Major Chromatic scale goes like this: C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G#,A,A#,B and C. A normal scale has 7 different notes while the chromatic scale has 12 different notes. I will use this page to memorize the chromatic scale
