Uses of Math

• Animators need to find unknows in simple equations

• Linear Algebra is used to move and rotate basically all major actions in animation

• FUN FACT!• An animator averages

about 100 frames per week…that’s about 4 seconds of screen time :O

Technology

• There is software that helps with animations but there is also much more to it

• This article talked about NOT relying on technology to do all of the work there’s a lot of art involved even when a computer is used

Science
