Math in Science and Math in Arts
Adam Parks
 

As majority of people always point out the separation between math and sciences, they are alike in a numerous amount of ways.  When looking at science, lengths, time, shapes, and so much more is utilized from the math fields. In addition, artists and art in general utilizes math as well.  For example, the art of origami utilizes math to a full extend. The shapes and lines utilized, the length and addition and subtraction used to make symmetry possible, and so much more is illustrated to us from the article titled, “Careers in Origami." Origami is just one of the many forms of art that utilizes math.

      Math is often seen in sciences as well. In Physical Sciences as well, we calculate the measurement of objects, their subjectivity and the characteristics of it as well.  Science also utilizes lengths and time to test object and experiment and hypothesis, all based on numbers.

In addition, an artist in specific, Leonardo Da Vinci was inspired mathematically through the golden ratio, utilizing golden rectangles and other shapes in his art form.  Much of his art dealt with shapes and the significance of those shapes in relation to similar, yet also different shapes.

Math is seen everywhere, in other subjects and in the simplicity of the world we live in.  We are all walking mathematicians and all deal with math in our daily lives. Mark Tegmark, speaks in his article, "Mathematics is everywhere", states that math truly is involved in our everyday lives and unconscious acts.  He explains as simple as paying for a bill, or looking at alarms and timers, we use math everyday. Math is everywhere and almost in everything we do, and as discussed in our lectures and class resources, specifically in music, arts, and sciences.

    Hi Adam,
    I agree with your sentiment that math is everywhere. I think that the associations people have to math are comical, because math is not reserved to specific types of people but rather everybody.

Week 6 Adam Parks     Biotechnology is a form of technology that has been enabled through the increase in technology and sciences. Biotechnology can be broad, from genetically modifying foods to kids to so much more. All of these examples lead to the idea of modernism in our current day in age and the progression of technology. All sorts of technology relates to the main idea of art, showing the beauty of the world and the progression our country has made.      Genetic modifications can be made as a form of improvement, fixing the flaws and making changes to better an outcome. This relates to photography and editing for me, given the ability to make improvements and allows for more of a "perfect" images. The art in genetic modification through biotechnology is the ability to make the beauty of the world more present and the ability to make changes to add to a idealistic society. The art in Biotechnology comes out through the advancement that society m...
