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.
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.
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!
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!
This post by Ashley Chin-Mark explains some of the many correlations between math and ballet. She explains how in ballet the dancers need to be aware of both negative and positive space, as well as study symmetrical movements and shapes. Dancers also need to calculate as well as predict how to best use the stage to perform their routines. She also talks about different alignments of body parts especially in the 8 corners method and how dancers rotate their bodies, in order to achieve symmetrical lines.
This post is helpful to me because it has a lot of detailed information with really specific examples of when and how math is used in ballet. Also, it showed me that dancers need to make a lot of calculations as to how to best use the stage to perform their routines, as well as avoid from accidentally bumping into/kicking each other.
This article comes from the AMS (American Mathematical Society). The article talks about wave frequencies and also Frequency Modulation. When we hear noises (music) our brains are processing the sound waves. They also state that sound is created by different types of air pressure. Frequency Modulation is just that. Modulating a signal so that it matches another signal. I want to use this article to study the perception of music and noises 
This page provides lots of links such as videos, podcasts and articles. These links explain counting, intervals, scales, pitches, overtones, patterns, symbols, harmonies and tones. This site has gathered lots of links from trusted sources ( Such as Tedx Talks)
The AMS ( American Mathematical Society) has lots of articles of how math and music are similar. They have listed over 20 links to trusted sources such as universities like “Rice University” (William Marsh Rice University). I think I will use this page as a place where I can gather extra information from links that I might’ve missed when researching for my topic.
4/4 = 4 quarter notes (4) in a measure. 2/2 = 2 whole notes (2) in a measure. 3/8 = 3 eighth notes (8) in a measure.

In this site, it displays a basic knowledge of the game of ice hockey. Further it goes deeper into how math is related to the ice rink, goalie, statistics and scoring. This website helped me a develop a basic understanding of what my topic is, and the connection to math. I found this cite extremely helpful as it guides me to the information I want to study.It also is extremely clear and easy to understand. Definitely recommend to others!
