Essay / Mathematics is literally in everything - 662
Mathematics is literally in everything. It becomes part of our life if we don't recognize it. Even when you're doing something simple like going to the cinema to enjoy a movie like Frozen or Wall-E. Without Math, none of these films would be possible. Mathematics is used in animations all the time. Every second we watch an animation, we see mathematics at work. All the characters that move and flash before our eyes are able to do so through mathematical concepts like algebra and trigonometry. Animators don't exactly use math, but the programs they use to create these animations can't work without math. Mathematics is used in animation to calculate motion and frame rates per second. Frame rates are the number of frames per second animators need for the character to move smoothly in the time specified by the script. Mathematics is also needed for viewpoints, proportions, character movement, artificial lighting, and color balance. Computer animators use different mathematical techniques to produce their animations. Mathematics is often used to manipulate complex three-dimensional objects like polygons. They do this by applying textures, lighting, and other effects to the polygons and rendering the finished image. Graphical user interfaces are used to create the animation and organize its choreography. Another technique called constructive solid geometry defines objects by performing a process on regular shapes, which gives the advantage and allows animations to be produced accurately at any resolution. Rendering a simple image of a room with flat walls and a pyramid in the middle of the space. the room uses math problems like geometry and ratios. Each wall, floor and ceiling is a simple rectangle. Each corner of the rectangles is defined by three values in the middle of the paper......if the position of the pyramid were changed and this process repeated, the pyramid would appear to move. Basically, animators can do without equations, but it's quite mathematical in nature. Because creating moving objects requires total accuracy and precision. This is why the programs used by animators can perform thousands of calculations at a time to ensure that the final image is as smooth and clear as possible, because no one wants to see a film in which all the characters are blurry or present problems. The programs used by the animators are large calculators for their mathematical problems. Without math, the whole program wouldn't be quite organized and would just make it more complicated to work with and take a lot longer to complete. This is why mathematics is so important and with this we can also see how mathematics actually finds its way into anything and everything..
