Putting the relevant equation in the image

I want to create images that depict how math builds or creates a certain landmark, building, or statistic.

For example, look at this image of an MLB players batting average

If i took an picture of a statistic I could use the equation of how to calculate that statistic and place the equation somewhere in the photo.

In this image i would put the equation how to calculate batting average: Avg. = Hits/At Bats

The Next Step

After the critique of our Concentration's in class I took not from other opinions. Yes my pictures displayed math, but the images were almost too obvious that math was used. When I shoot next I want to create images that portray math, but I want to make where the math is shown less obvious. The math needs to be less obvious and even more abstract than the door handle image.


You may think that this is just string, but the patterns required to make this shape the person is holding involves mathematical ideas. There was a certain way to do this, and patterns is what math is about. I also want to make images that show possible equations used in the subjects construction. Perhaps I could use the idea of putting the specific formula on each specific image.
(feedback pleaseee)

Math Is Everywhere

 
 
This week I displayed photos that I created to try and depict how math is everywhere in the sense that we use it for everything. Construction, patterns in our day, and things that require numbers to understand something (measurements) are what I attempted to portray.



In this photo I tried to take an abstract route in the sense of eximplifying math; the key has a certain shape and pattern to fit in the door. There is a formula required to make this key fit and function.
