Introduction  (Monday, 6/5) The most interesting subject that interested me the most is the correlation between mathematics and art. The topic I am going to focus throughout my paper is the golden ratio, which is incorporated in variety forms of art to enhance their aesthetic values. I am currently pursuing in the structural engineering and construction industry. These two fields, alongside architecture, are responsible for designing buildings, bridges, and many other structures. The golden ratio is often used in the design process to display a harmonious configuration of proportionality in structural elements. Background/First Body Paragraph  (Tuesday, 6/6) -Briefly describe the golden ratio. -Present historical examples of famous structures that incorporated the golden ratio. These examples include: The Great Pyramid of Giza The Parthenon Notre Dame Current State/Second Body Paragraph (Wednesday, 6/7) -Golden Ratio in contemporary architecture Le Corbusier  Bernard Ts

Space elevator diagram Humans have always had the innate urges to attain new knowledge and explore new worlds. Due to this, human interest in unveiling the mysteries of space has been prevalent and everlasting. From telescopes to space shuttles, we have continued to challenge our scientific limits, thriving to discover more about the world we live in today. As a civil engineer, I found the concept of space infrastructures, such as a space elevator, to be extremely interesting. Like the beanstalk in Jack and the Beanstalk , the space elevator is a static structure that is literally out of this world, reaching a geostationary orbit at a height of thirty-six thousand kilometers. There are countless design considerations that go into this structure. The lower end of the elevator would be subjected to stronger gravitational force, counterbalanced by the centrifugal force at the upper end. As a result, the elevator would be put under massive tensile force, so the material would have
