MATH ARTS 2

The picture above seem to look like a head of a frog or a snake or the front part of a boat. It depends on how you see it.

The image actually came from a simple photo of a prominent mall in Jakarta, Indonesia. Here is the photo:

The photo was symmetrically rotated and transformed into a new figure like the first image above. I have also added colors and some effects on the images. As you can see in the original picture, there is a street light post. In the image formed, it became a decoration on the upper part. The logo of the mall in the original picture became the eyes of the frog or snake in the image formed. The building on the left side of the mall became the platform in the lower part of the image. 

I have also created a variation of colors for the image. Here they are:

   

Hope you like them all. Try to do the same process to your photos and you will see amazing results, too.

MATH ARTS 1

This is one of my work of art, if it is considered as one. I made this using an application in my mobile phone.

The image is being formed by using varying sizes and colors of circles. The figure formed resembles a pitcher plant or lilies. The white in the middle part represents the stigma of the flower. If you know a flower that looks like these, you may write it in the comment box below.

I actually have a collection of the images I created similar to this. I'll share them to you one at a time. Hope you like it.

You may save and use the image in your works. Just make sure to link it back here. Thank you!

NUMBER PUZZLE

Here is a simple number puzzle. At first, it looks complicated but upon looking for patterns, the puzzle seem so easy. I'll teach you the first one, then answer the other one. 

To solve this number puzzle, look for any relation of the numbers. Check if there is a possible relation of adjacent numbers, etc.

In this puzzle, the numbers in the first column are consecutive numbers. For the second column, notice that 3 is next to 1 and 2 in the first column. The number 3 is also the sum of 1 and 2. If you check the next number in the second column, 5 is the sum of 2 and 3 in the first column. You may continue checking for the pattern. Make sure that the pattern applies to all the numbers. Therefore the missing numbers in this puzzle are 7 and 20.

Now it is your turn. Try to decipher the missing numbers in the following puzzle:

HOLY WEEK 2013

A simple mathematical statement but means a lot. May this statement remind us of the true meaning of the Holy Week - not just a vacation. We should realize the LIFE and LOVE that God has given us.

As the bible says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
We should repent and ask for forgiveness. "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord" (Acts 3:19) 

And with this we should pray. "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,  your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread.  Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. '  For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins" (Matthew 6:9-15).Amen. 
Have a safe and meaningful Holy Week to all of you!
