SORRY – OUR SITE GOT HACKED !
It was recently brought to our attention that the site which was hosting a lot of the images and PDF documents for Passy’s World of Mathematics got hacked in 2019, and there has been some very unsavoury advertising and spam present on some of our lessons.
We are slowly repairing the site, and doing work to host the images on our own server space. This could easily take us the next 30 days to fix all 190 lessons on this site. We thank you for your patience.
What’s New
Mathematics is just one of my passions. As well as teaching Mathematics, MultiMedia, and ICT as my “Day Job”, I also work as a Photographer on weekends.
Modern Digital Photograpy involves quite a bit of behind the scenes Mathematics.
This Mathematics includes Geometric Sequences, Polyhedra, Fractions, Geometry, Circle Areas, Angles, Formulas, and Symmetry.
An understanding of this Mathematics can definitely make you a better Photographer, even if it just means you know the best Viewpoints, Angles, and Geometric Composition to use when taking pictures with a Mobile Phone.
I have found understanding the Mathematics of a DSLR Camera really helps me do fast effective problem solving on Photoshoots.
Digital Cameras have preset auto modes which work well in about 80% of situations, but there are other times when a Camera needs to be put into full Manual Mode and some Mathematical Problem Solving invoked.
Here at Passy’s World we have produced a comprehensive series of articles on the Mathematics of Photography, including plenty of real life examples as well as selected Videos which can be viewed.
The eight Mathematics of Photography articles are as follows:
– Photo Composition Rules
– Digital Camera Variables
– The ISO Variable
– The Aperture Variable
– The Shutter Speed Variable
– The White Balance Variable
– Combining Variables for Correct Exposure
– Flash Photography and Diffusers
