Waves: Beach Picture Craft Camp 5
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! This picture shows how you can use trigonometry and calculus to add waves to the ocean in your picture. Next time we\’re going to do a little more editing and get these pictures gallery-ready. Calc You Later!
Cloud in the Sky: Beach Picture Craft Camp 4
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! This video shows how to use a line, a segment, some circles, their intersections, and some arcs to add a cloud to your beach picture. I could use your feedback on something! I meant for this to be a weeklong project with five videos, but I keep getting…
Beach Picture Craft Camp Update
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! Meetings at the Day Job and the accompanying logistical matters have taken up so much time and energy that I\’m sorry to have to inform you I don\’t think I will have the next step in the picture (putting waves in the ocean) ready today. Please keep an…
Sun and Umbrellas: Beach Picture Craft Camp Video 3
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! In this video, you can see how to add the sun and some umbrellas to your picture. Does anyone see how you could use the umbrellas to prove the same formula we proved with the seashells last time? Let me know if you figure it out! Calc You…
Seashells: Beach Picture Craft Camp Video 2
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! This video shows the next step in assembling our beach pictures, putting some seashells in the sand. The next step will be up tomorrow, provided things go smoothly (or at least manageably). I\’ll also post a proof of that important fact about the inner angle sum of a…
Sand, Sea, and Sky: Beach Picture Craft Camp Video 1
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! This video shows how to set up a background representing sand, sea, and sky so you can get started. Keep your eyes open, because the next step will be up soon. Calc You Later!
Beach Picture Update
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! A video lag issue threw off my production schedule. Troubleshooting was eventually successful but it will be tomorrow before I can release a good version of the first beach picture how-to video. The project is delayed, not cancelled. I will post both of the first two steps tomorrow…
Beach Picture Craft Camp: Supply List
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! Under the circumstances, please do not make an extra trip to the store for any of this. I will make sure that there is an option to use free online technology for all of it. However, if you have to go to the store anyway, or you want…
