Question

@jungkook22

Allow me to show you the beauty of math?
What I'll go through eventually:
1. History
2. Music: Sound Frequencies and Instrument Architecture
3. Photography
4. Human Anatomy
5. Art
6. Flowers

Answer 1

I would love to be shown the beauty of math o great one.

Answer 2

Unfortunately jungkook doesn't want to but sure I'll give you a ride Gdeinward.

First of all. Solve for A and B using simple algebra:

Answer 3

are the 2 equations correlated or are they separate?

Answer 4

ah I thought so, but I was confused for a sec

Answer 5

Ah it's a lat night. I'm having a bit of trouble

Answer 6

So
A = 1 - B
Then by substitution:
\[\frac{B}{1-B} = \frac{1-B}{(1-B)+B}\]
so

\[ B = (1-B)^{2} \]
Can you solve quadratics?

Answer 7

yes that is something I can do

Answer 8

B = (1-b)(1-b)

Answer 9

1-b2-b²

Answer 10

B = b² - b2 - 1
0 = b² -b3 - 1

Answer 11

the answer would be b = 3/2 - sqrt(13)/2 and b = 3/2 + sqrt(13)/2
right?

Answer 12

-0.302 and 0.302 right?

Answer 13

sorry 3.302 and -0.302

Answer 14

that solution is incorrect?

Answer 15

I followed the rules, that is classic polynomial form, im confused

Answer 16

Oh I see. Iwas trying to organize it better and I messed it up

Answer 17

-b^2-3b+1 = 0 is correct

Answer 18

its -3.302 and 0.302

Answer 19

Im so sorry. I feel like a dum dum

Gdein silly mistakes happen, -b * -b is simply b^2 not -b^2
so solve for b^2-3b+1

Answer 21

He's right.
To save time, take a look at this.
a/b = 1.618...
What is b/a?

Google this number and tell me what it is.

Answer 22

WOW

Answer 23

It's pretty cool, it's the same number that forms the ratio in the fibonacci sequence, and the same ratio of our facial structuring

Answer 24

Exactly. Good understanding so far JSVSL7.
The golden ratio is related to the best, most aesthetic position.

Now then, tell me what happened on June 18, 618 AD
(6/18/618)

Answer 25

Not sure what happened that year

Answer 26

Which Chinese dynasty was considered "China's Golden Age"?

Answer 27

Ah, you're referring to the Tang Dynasty?

Answer 28

And when did the Tang Dynasty begin

Answer 29

Same date

Answer 30

X died that same day

Answer 31

I thought of that too ^

Answer 32

You can look more into what humanity was like during the Tang Dynasty.
It was a semi-divine culture. Shen Yun is a Classical Chinese Dance show that revives the lost culture through dancing if you want to check them out:

Anyways I'll leave that exploration for you.
Let's go with 2. Music:
An octave is 8 notes apart, or 13 counting the sharps/flats. (see how it relates to the fibonacci?)

In music theory, what is a major chord made out of?

Answer 33

So a major chord is composed of a root (any note, for example, A). a major third, and a perfect fifth. (notice the resemblance to fibonnaci sequence)

Let's take a look at their frequencies:

Answer 34

If you have a piano, you can experiment playing chords
(Root) - (Root+5) - (Root+8) , or (Root) - (Root+8) - (Root+13) if counting black keys
For example:
A-E-A
C-G-C
G#-D#-G#
and compare them with any other chord with a slight change in notes.

See how it sounds.
Next up: Photography,
someone tell me what the Rule of Thirds is used for.

Answer 35

Rule of third is used to show the focus of an object along those intersection lines? I took photography a while back

Answer 36

But not to interrupt, The Taj Mahal's entrance also has its aesthetic designed with the golden ratio

Answer 37

Traditional Persian and Khorasan (afghanistan and some of pakistan) architecture also had a large significance of golden ratio

Answer 38

Very good, it is almost at the point where the golden spirals lie, but not quite:
You can google examples yourselves.
We can apply the same thing to things like Leonardo Da Vinci's Study of Human Proportions, proportions of musical instrument bodies, art, flowers, architecture (like you said) etc...

Answer 39

Cool thx

Answer 40

I'm tired xd. I'll stop here. I think these are enough to get you passionate about applying math to things.

Answer 41

@jhonyy9 I'm sure he would like to see

Answer 42

Thx I'm mindblown

Answer 43

Yeah thank you, sorry I couldn't stay to see it! That is very interesting.

Answer 44

I am slightly scared now
