    In math and science, generally there is a right and wrong or a clear idea of the problem or equation. There’s numbers, formulas, and theories that can be logically proved with facts and solutions. Art is different however, as it is usually left for the audience’s interpretation to understand the piece of art. Even though they may not seem related, math has had a huge impact on science and art whether it be in history or in the modern world.
One example of this is Josef Albers. Albers was a German-born American artist who used math and art to show his work and is pieces. Albers created many different artworks that involved illusions using cubes. He also created many abstract paintings that involved shapes and illusion. In order to complete these, he had to incorporate math into his paintings.
Math has also influenced science in many ways. One way math has influenced science is by trying to learn and understand the universe. The universe is rational so it requires mathematics to solve and understand the workings of the universe. Another way mat has influenced science is through computer science. One example of the is breaking the Enigma code in WWII. Breaking the Enigma code allowed math to be used to help adapt the use of computers in the future.

In the first video, it described the powers of 10 and the relative size of things in the universe and the effect of adding another zero. It has always been extremely fascinating to me. I can't even imagine the size and the distance differences between different planets, stars, solar systems, and other space objects. It just goes to show how small we really are in the universe. This video also described how as the powers of 10 increase the farther upward into space we travel. In the first lecture, she described how ancient astronomers named the planets based on greek gods. In the second lecture, she described how contemporary space development started after World War II after the first atomic bomb was tested at a site called Trinity. After this test, and after we dropped two Nucl

Jacob Burton Desma 9 5/13/17                                                                        Blog 6                    This week we looked at Biotechnology and art. This weeks topic seemed to be the most controversial lecture and section yet, such  experimentation with animals, hybrids between species and other controversial topics. Another example of this is genomes in food. Me personally, researching this, I am torn on using GMOs. The pros of using GMOs is that the flavors can be enhanced and be greater. Using GMOs also prevents diseases to the plants and food. They also create more nutritional benefits. However, there are some cons to using GMOs. One example is the environmental damage it creates. Another con is that in many cases it causes people to have allergic reaction to these foods. Still after researching this, I am torn on the use of GMOs.                      In the lectures, she described how bio technology genetics and technology artists have entered into la
