Education Although not required a Bachelor or Masters in Fine Arts can’t hurt in this profession. Math that is required: College Algebra Trigonometry Geometry Calculus I and II Linear Algebra

Uses of Math Animators need to find unknows in simple equations Knowledge of geometry allows move and change Linear Algebra is used to move and rotate basically all major actions in animation FUN FACT! An animator averages about 100 frames per week…that’s about 4 seconds of screen time :O

Technology There is software that helps with animations but there is also much more to it This article talked about NOT relying on technology to do all of the work there’s a lot of art involved even when a computer is used

Science It is used if forensic science! It recreates eyewitness accounts to help in crimes There can be a duplication of the crime scene. With animation the point of view can be changed to overhead view which can provide better appreciation of the crime scence.
