Solve for X

Assignment: Share your favorite mathematical expression by finding images of the appropriate numbers, symbols, etc. and using them to create an image of the expression.

 

Working in education, I am frequently overhearing students express how they hate math, will never use it, are just trying to get through it and passed it, etc.. I'm not a math teacher but I do appreciate the practicality (and, at times, the transcendence) of math and I use it in my life all the time. The one equation that is simply a joy to use is solving for X by cross multiplication.

 

Here, I took photos of signs and flyers around campus, extracted the bits and pieces, and mashed them up on a chalkboard background. I had forgotten to capture the word "thing" so a Google search for the classic John Carpenter film scored me the word in this collage.
