What Piece of Work are You Most Proud of?
I am proud of the landscape equation project. For this project we had to draw a landscape of our choice and then create equations for lines with in the picture. I decided to have my landscape be the Delicate Arch. I was very happy with the way my project turned out, I have always had troubles drawing pictures and I was nervous that I would not be able to draw a good enough landscape to make good equations. I think that this project reminded me that if I put more effort into things I can create good work. I was also proud of this piece of work because even though I missed a lot of school because of illnesses and sports I was able to create a picture landscape and make equations in the time limit we were given. From this project I learned how you can apply math to everything, even simple drawings. |
Polynomials and Art
For this project we had to start by taking a picture that had at least two different curves within it. After that we then had to find two curves, one had to have both a minimum and maximum, the other just a maximum. After we found the two curves we then had to find the all the zeroes and the min. and max. Of both curves. When we finish all the equations we then had to make a second picture that match the same curves. I made my second picture an island with a rock formation in the front of it. Equations and description of Polynomials This project for me was very hard. I really didn't connect with the content because i missed a lot of school during that time. I didn't understand how to find the Zeroes and then make the equations. I think the equations were the hardest to understand because they were so long and had many places where it was easy to mess up. I also had a hard time with the second picture, I am terrible with art and i didn't think it turned out that well. I did end up liking this project in the end because it was definitely unique. It was cool to do something different, it makes it a little more fun for me. |
