One of the most controversial discussions in hockey, when cutting a hockey stick shorter does it really affect the flex? After viewing this site, I have a fuller understanding of this question. For example longer the stick= more leverage, therefore easier to flex. Although smaller the stick harder it is to flex because closer the hands are. This site will be extremely helpful as it demonstrates the physics of weight transfer from body to stick. It also is extremely informative and extremely relatable, definitely recommend to others!

Module One Post Seven [Goal tending in Soccer]

I think goal tending is one of the most important and hard positions in soccer because you are guarding such a big net. I think that angles has a lot of play when it comes to goal tending. The goaltender has to follow the line of shot when a player is shooting on him. In my opinion the person who is shooting against the goalie is always looking for an angle but the goalie can narrow his or her’s shooting angle by creeping out of his box https://www.mathedpage.org/conics/soccer/

So as you may have already known in my other post that I love and play soccer. I really want to focus on the angles when you are shooting and if you need to be on angle to score. I want to experiment on doing this in the near future. I think when professional soccer players are scoring goals they don’t just kick the ball randomly and hope that it goes in. They must be on a certain angle to score whether its top right, top left, bottom right or bottom left. https://prezi.com/skroy6i6ebar/angles-and-soccer/

This video sums up the mathematics in the music that is placed into a film or movie. Without music or sound effects the movie would be more boring. There is counting, rhythm, scales, intervals, patterns, symbols, harmonies, time signatures, overtones, tone, pitch and much more to make a piece of music sound right.

This website mostly talks about the mathematical aspects in perspective drawing. There are about three mathematical things to look for next time you see a drawing. They are the relationship between the lengths of the edges of the cubes, the angles between them and parallel and perpendicular lines.

Here is the picture the website provided us. As you take a close look at the picture, you can observe the angles and lengths of the cubes. Also the way the lines point and how the angles are, looking this way at the cubes.

Math and Music

This page briefly talks about the Mozart Effect. The Mozart Effect is a phenomenon that happens when young people listen to a wide variety of Mozart’s different pieces while studying. It’s said that this helps students to memorize and remember things during class. I’ll use this page to gain some extra knowledge on things I might not have covered.

Module 1 Post 8 [ Musical pitches and math]

Musical Pitches

This site talks about musical pitches. The frequency determines how high or how low a pitch can sound, for example: The pitch of a high D ( Or D5) is 587.33 Hz while a low pitch such as a low C (C0) is  16.35 Hz. The pitch of a standard A (A4) rests at 440 Hz. Most people tune with A4. The ending statement of the article states that some musicians can slowly gain a degree of perfect pitch ( Being able to sing each individual note, improvise, compose by ear etc.) just by being familiar with A4 note.

Musical Form

This site explains musical forms like AABB, ABA, AABA and many others. Musical form determines how a piece can sound based on repetition. Forms usually depend on a statement and restatement type of melody ( Question to answer compositions) and also contrast. I will use this site as a place to gather extra knowledge. I know this page is trusted because there are citations and the last update was pretty current ( October 31)

Pythagorean tuning

This Wikipedia page explains how Pythagorean tuning uses math ( frequency ratio and intervals) to determine how high or how low a note is based on the vibrations per second. The faster it is, the higher the note is. The lower the vibrations are, the lower the note is. I will use this site to further understand the Pythagorean tuning method.
