Bolt

  • Bolt is a fictional character from the Walt Disney Animation Studios' 48th animated feature film, Bolt (2008) who has superpowers such as a "super bark" and the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes.
  • The design for the main character Bolt was loosely inspired by the American White Shepherd.
  • Rhino, the hamster, was originally supposed to be a rat.
  • Mittens, the street-wise alley cat, was originally called Mr. Mittens, because her owners never took the time to figure out if she was a boy or a girl.
  • What Bolt teaches us –
    Believe in yourself, even when others don’t
    Always protect and be there for the ones you love
    Turn your enemies into friends; and the most important
    Create your own luck!

Celebrating World Photography Day with Maths

  1. A lot of different mathematical concepts are involved in photography, one of them is the most basic of them all, fractions which are used to calculate aperture size, depth of field, and focal length.
  2. The Rule of thirds. If we divide a photo into thirds, we can get a grid with dimensions 3×3 – 3 vertical and three horizontal thirds. This gives a total of 9 rectangles, and this rule is called the Rule of Thirds. The main idea behind this uses the lines to position the important subjects in the photo at the places where those lines intersect.
  3. Shutter speed is the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes. The field of mathematics used in shutter speed is fractions. Shutter speed is generally measured in fractions of a second when they are under a minute.
  4. Math is also used to calculate perspective, composition, and other elements of photographic design.
  5. Mathematics is also used to understand optical principles, lens design, camera angles, lighting, and other different features.
