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.

Computers and Nanotechnology

This website is helpful because it contains information about nanotechnology in computers and the advancements of the nanotechnology in computers. They explained that over the past 10 years that the technology in laptops is as small as an average thumb. Some people don’t like nanotechnology because they complain that we should be making computers faster more than smaller. The website also displays the future of computers and what scientists are working towards. One goal is to make computers to transfer information straight to the brain instead of to the screen. It also explained about hackers and if they are able to hack into your body with nanotechnology they could kill you.

Engineering is a very well known and high qualified job.While i was researching about this topic, i came across some interesting websites that i thought were meaningful. One of these websites talked about the meaning of engineering. Engineers use both math and science to develop solutions to technical problems. Their job is to create and invent new topics and designs to make up. Many engineers work in testing, production, or maintenance. To do their job correctly and accurately, they use computers and special objects and tools so they can complete their task to their fullest ability. One thing that i just learned and never noticed before was that there are 40 different types of engineering degrees! This is so incredible and it blew my mind because each degree is different and they all deal with different things that involve engineering! Some examples are Robotics engineering, chemical engineering,environmental engineering, paper engineering, and marine engineering. These five degrees caught my attention first because i haven’t really heard these terms before and i was interested to see what their meaning was!

 

Module One Post Two (The Mathematics of Art)

This website is about a artist who used math while doing art. The artist that I looked up was M.C. Escher. He was a very famous artist that created challenging mathematical artwork. He used very simple drawing tools and the naked eye, but was able to create stunning mathematical pieces. His particular drawing, Ascending and Descending, was one of his masterpieces. I learned that he used very challenging math for his artwork.

How a mathematical equation opened a new frontier in nanotechnology

 

This website is helpful because it displays an explanation for an excellent equation for measuring the shape and weight of nano-objects such as viruses. The equations are made by professor John Sader at the University of Melbourne. It explains that it will require more force to push heavier objects. If you accelerate a particle you measure how fast it goes to figure out the mass. That is called (MS). This website is a bit complicated but it helps you realize how math is used to measure nano-objects/ particles.

In this website it tells me that when someone uses art to draw something they also use math. Leonardo Da Vinci used the golden ratio while thinking of the art he wanted to draw. Mathematics has inspired textile arts like quilting, knitting, cross-stitch, crochet, and weaving. People usually use math for measuring the picture before they draw, and sketching. I learned that if I ever wanted to draw a picture I could try to use these ideas.

The last website I chose talks about what perspective is. I also provided a video to support what it says. In the website, it says that perspective has different ways it presents itself, as it has one to three vanishing points. when you do perspective, it used math called  projective geometry.

The video i got talks about how in 3D sidewalk paintings, if you look right above, it will look extremely distorted, but from the side however, it looks like it is popping up. this all works because it uses mathematical techniques old artists used back then, and what we still use today.

While I Was researching about architecture, i came across a very creative and meaningful video. In this video, there was a person who was talking about the true meaning and importance of architecture. When i found this video, i automatically knew that this was the video i wanted to share and write about. These person described architecture in such powerful and passionate way. One thing that inspired me to write about this was that during this clip they mentioned how architecture is about solving problems and understanding the concept of a puzzle. Architecture is also the story of civilisations past, present, and future. I really enjoyed how they mentioned some very detailed information in the video because it made me realise that architecture is surrounded by everywhere we go and that is the beauty of this planet. I got inspired to write about this because my uncle designed a very well done restaurant in Jordan called The Blue Fig! Eventually i began to get very interested in this topic and look at me now i am actually doing a research project on this! Hopefully one day i can make a video on architecture/engineering and end up posting it on YouTube or a well known website!

Module One Post Two (Symmetry,geometry….dance?)

This website talks about how symmetry and geometry are both very important as well as useful in ballet. Dancers use symmetry when spotting in a turn, without spotting dancers would become very dizzy and would fall over. Dancers can’t spin continuously because the human body has no rotational symmetry, so anyone who tried to spin continuously would lose their balance and fall. The website also talks about how dancers make shapes with their bodies, and that choreographers think about how they can use lines and angles to make their dances more appealing. It also explained that a system of notation for dance that can be manipulated like a math equation has been created by a choreographer named Rudolph Laban.

This is helpful to me because it gave me a lot of new information that other websites didn’t contain. This website taught me that there is a system of notation for dance, something I was unaware of prior to reading this. This is useful to me because it’s a topic I find interesting, and something I might want to do further research on. I also learned that when creating a dance choreographers use math to make it more interesting.

Architecture and engineering are a few topics that I was curious and interested about researching. While I was researching this topic, I came across a few fascinating facts that blew my mind. One website I used to do my research on was http://work.chron.com/architectural-engineer-vs-architect-19557.html. To study and become one of these jobs in the future, you must complete at lest one-3 years of internship under the supervision of an experienced professional in their category they are interested in learning and studying about. This program lets people enjoy the true meaning of these jobs. They all use computer- assisted tools that they can use in the future if they want to continue this job and program. Architecture includes the process of planning, designing and constructing buildings or structures. On the other hand, both of these two things are really similar and they can both help you in life to get a well paid job i the future. The bonus part about these two jobs would be that they both involve lots of creativity and mind skills which are very important to have when you’re a kid and an adult. I found this website very useful and helpful because it helped research and understand the importance of my research topic and further information about it!
