Nancy Blachman founded the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival in 2007. As a student in middle and high school, Nancy enjoyed solving math problems with her father. She didn't enjoy the competitive atmosphere and time constraints of most math contests, but was intrigued and inspired by the qualifying problems of the yearly math contest sponsored by Saint Mary's College in Moraga, CA. As an adult, she found that the Saint Mary's Math Contest no longer existed, and connected with Joshua Zucker,…

characters, music soundtracks, the list goes on and on. The most popular items when you think of Disney are the fictional character that were first created with Disney such as Mickey Mouse. But after digging into Disney some more I found that they own Pixar, ABC, ESPN, Hollywood Records, Marvel, Lucasfilms and many more! Because they own so much, they are able to make big bucks. There are two main reasons I invested in Disney, one because I love them company and two, because after looking at the…

Sara Boxer, author of “Why are all the Cartoon Mothers Dead?” illuminates readers on the horrors of the beloved cartoon films so many people love to watch. Boxer was previously an editor and writer for the well-known Newspaper Company New York Times. The author attempts to persuade readers of her ideas that influence her to write this essay.

Dreamworks always produces zany cartoons with wacky humour (Corliss). But I groaned as I watched Brave, sleeping through the “beary” outlandish mother-daughter relationship and the decidedly dull plot. Had Pixar lost its mojo; did I mention heresy? Yet Monsters University confirmed my assumption, and I worried for the future of animated films— could no studio bundle themes and storytelling into winning, cohesive films? Then Frozen hit cinemas, with its all-engulfing popularity perplexing me:…

I grew up Caguas, Puerto Rico and in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico. My house in Toa Alta shaped me to be more social since I had friends there that we used to go out and play together. In Caguas, which was my grandmothers house, I didn’t went out and play. My sister and I always stayed inside to play or watch TV. My earliest memory I can recall been on the phone with my parents at my grandmother’s house and then going to my room in my grandmother’s house and crying because I missed my parents and then…

Ratatouille is a 2007 American film produced by Pixar that follows the journey of Remy, a young rat that aspires to be a chef, and his garbage boy turned chef friend Linguini. The whole film summarized into a sentence is basically that Remy’s dream of being a chef and Linguini 's dream of being a success is only possible in the end with the help of the other one, emphasizing the importance of collaboration. However the important take away is not this heartwarming lesson, but rather the way that…

In the Pixar movie, WALL-E, the current culture of the people is them relying on technology for everything they do. It’s a little like the world we live in nowadays, there are people who do everything with their phones and can’t do hardly anything without it. We now have it to where we can text the pizza emoji to dominos and they will deliver pizza. In the movie the people would call the robot that gets the drinks, and it would bring it to them. With the technology we have today we never see…

and resorts industries. For example, Disney spent over 3.6 billion dollars to build Euro-Disney, which is actually now called Disney Paris. Not many companies can afford that type of expenditure like Disney. Also from an film industry standpoint, Pixar, which is owned by Disney Company, is the major power for animation. Movies such as Toy Story and Monsters Inc., are not only very profitable box office movies, but also icons and brands for Disney. The rich history of Disney has also created such…

A relationship with numbers and codes is my fate. I learned math for an Olympic Mathematics Competition that I’ve been involved in since I was 9 years old. I became familiar with algorithms like congruence, Horner algorithm and graph theory before I could use a computer. Now as a senior in the school of mathematics at XX University, one of the top three mathematical schools in China. I chose math as my major to build a good mathematical foundation to thoroughly learn about computer science. With…

the second apple computer that had better graphics and was much easier to use. Jobs eventually used his creativeness to make computer technology useful in other forms of media.
