Greetings!
Welcome to my webpage for Communicating Mathematics! I've been hard at work uncovering the secret probabilities of the rarest Pokémon in history, and using spherical trigonometry to help Captain Jack Sparrow find Poseidon's Trident in his 5th
film
epic adventure. Feel free to have a look around!
The Rarest Encounter in Pokémon
From the up-and-coming director Edgar Wrong, below is my video for this module delving into the rarest encounter in Pokémon! In stunning resolution, as seen on TV, each multipack film not to be sold separately. I hope you 'enjoy' it!
Some people say the book is always better than the film though, if you're one of those... people then take a look at the script!
You can find the blackboards from the video here!Link opens in a new window, more in depth computations coming soon to a webpage near you!
I understand that some people live to see others fail. The Pokémon Professor is no failure, but his tragically underpaid actor is good friends with Mr. Messup, as such I present to you previously unseen footage. Here is the nation's premiere of THE BLOOPER REEL!
Pirates in an Adventure with Spherical Trigonometry!
Much like my idioms, I may have mixed up my film titles. But give a man a fish, you know?
In Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge we see Keira Knightly replaced by a much more mathematically motivated horologist. As Captain Jack tries to get back into the swing of piracy, we see the maths maiden doing various calculations to locate Poseidon's Trident with astonishing precision. But instead of glossing over all her efforts like the film does, I took a look into what maths she was actually doing.
Who doesn't love a triangle? Well it turns out Carina (the maths lady) was doing some SPHERICAL TRIGONOMETRY!
After I stuck out the bunting and bought a cake for the celebration and party that is trigonometry, I produced an in-depth and super serious article on how spherical trigonometry was used in this films: you can find it here!Link opens in a new window
