Responses without sources aren't answers, just opinions.\n\nAnthropomorphism, a form of personification (applying human or animal qualities to inanimate objects) and similar to prosopopoeia (adopting the persona of another person), is the attribution of human characteristics and qualities to non-human beings, objects, natural, or supernatural phenomena. Animals, forces of nature, and unseen or unknown authors of chance are frequent subjects of anthropomorphosis.

The process of replacing human handcraft or phisical work with the work of professional machines.It started during the 18th century with the Industrial Revolution in UK and then through out Europe and nowdays it means constantly replacing technology.

Props to mathematician.  To expand, a "machine" must transform energy in some way.  The second law of thermodynamics describes that any time energy is transformed, entropy is created.  Whenever entropy is created, the "machine" must expel some energy in order to expel the entropy that has been created (if it doesn't expel the entropy, the machine doesn't run).  So every time a machine does something, it MUST lose some energy, and it cannot run forever.

CHANGE!\n\nAny kind of change, whether positive or negative, is a source of stress (good stress is called eustress, bad stress is called distress).\n\nIt's true!

Most of the answers have gone off on a rant about math. Pretty funny. I teach math, and that is the only question I ever get...when am I ever gonna use this? Well, SOME of you will be math teachers. Even if you say "oh no, not me". We don't fall out of the sky. Someone does it, and it might be YOU!!!   ;)\n\nTo answer your question on transformations, they are used in many places. Would an accountant use it...NO!! But imagine moving a sofa from one house to another. First you slide it across the room (hardwood floors), which is a translation. Then you angle it to go around a corner and down the hall...that is a rotation. Then you pick it up and turn it upside down to get it out the door, that would be a reflection!\n\nHere is a better example: a video game programmer. You couldn't possibly program every position into the game...it would take an enormous amount of storage. What they do is program the basic shape of the monster, then make him undergo transformations such as translations and rotations to give him action. Next year when you take intermediate algebra you will see something called matrices. These are what are used in essence by some coders to make the objects you see come to life.\n\nAnd since I am bored right now, let me give you the first example in history where this math was used by industry: the industrial revolution! Textile makers realized that they could program their machines to make repeated patterns for the clothes (usually glide reflections). We know that the industrial revolution led to our current craze with oil and energy use, which is causing the greenhouse effect (unless you are G.W.Bush), which will possibly alter the Earth's environment permanantly, causing the demise of humans. Imagine: math destroying the world!! Rub that in your math teachers face!\n\nBut I don't recommend throwing pancakes...that could get messy!\n\nps: to the accounting major (2 year degree): if you get a 4 year degree in accounting at the University of Utah, and probably many other places, you have to take math through calculus...they use math abilities to weed people out of programs. Is that why you stopped at two years??

I certainly hope you have visited the link below for visual and mathematical insights into this problem.\n\nHowever, the only materials that come to mind which lend themselves to a physical model of this transformation are:\n\n o thin-but-rigid springs or "lead" wire(s) as supports/frames\n o plastic wrap as a surface substrate\n o flexible, rubberized, quick-drying paint as a protective layer\n\nI regret that my imagination is limited with respect to this problem, but good luck with your project!

A measure of change in the universe.\n\nMake an observation or perform an experiment.  For example, pour water out of a glass.  The water is in the glass.  The water is out of the glass.  The water is on the floor.  What is the relationship of the observations you make?  That measure of change can be attributed to the passage of time.
