When I hear the words Math, Science, and Art, my mind instantly drifts to three different categories. To me, these things have always been separate. For instance, in school, we always took these classes as three separate subjects so there never really seemed to be any correlation between the three of them. After watching this weeks lecture and readings I can see just how much my vision has been skewed and there really are many similarities between the three and for one of them to happen there the other category must be present.


A point in the lecture that the professor made that really stuck to me was when she spoke about the mathematical rules about vanishing points and perspective. Perspective is so important for a painting to come to life and make it at all possible. This has always been the case for artists since the day they began painting, we just never thought of it like that. An artist is just as much a mathematician as they are artists.

In addition, when looking at Robert Langs Mathematical Origami, we can see just how much math plays into what he is creating. I found it interesting how he had his own design tools in creating these pieces when most people just think of origami as folding paper and nothing really that special to it. By having math and science incorporated it really brings these pieces to life.
















Finally, one last area that I found was the concept of music and computers and especially the part about sound. When I think of music I do not think about the connection of physics and perception like the reading did. Sound is represented by soundwaves and has their own mathematical term "function" surround them. Whether we see it or not math, science, and art are all around us and surround everything we do in our everyday life. A scientist is just as much an artists and mathematician.
