Computer Generated Imagery (CGI): • Computer animators using vector-based mathematical rules and computations • First Feature-Length 3D CGI Film: Toy Story, 1995 • Who UsesThis Stuff? Things You Didn’t Know Needed Math • MP3 Music Encoding: • Compression algorithm: clear sound in smaller sizes • Remove parts of recording that aren’t deemed necessary: i.e. sound beyond human hearing • Storage & sharing of digital media • Fantasy Sports: • Points scored based on athletes performances in real life • Statistics: homeruns, runs, OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging), and other involved statistics • Results that factor in infinity demonstrate the significant role math plays in these games
