  • English Gothic Architecture

    • The Perpendicular Gothic period is the third historical division of English Gothic architecture, and is characterized by an emphasis on vertical lines.
    • The Perpendicular style began under the royal architects William Ramsey and John Sponlee, and lasted into the mid 16th century.
    • The Perpendicular style grew out of the shadow of the Black Death, a disease that killed approximately half of England's population in 18 months between June 1348 and December 1349 and returned in 1361–62 to kill another fifth of the population.
    • Perpendicular linearity is particularly obvious in the design of windows, which became immense, allowing greater scope for stained glass craftsmen.

  • English Architecture in the Northern Renaissance

    • The Tudor architectural style was the final development of medieval architecture during the Tudor period (1485–1603).
    • The designation "Tudor style" is an awkward one, with its implied suggestions of continuity through the period of the Tudor dynasty and the misleading impression that there was a style break at the accession of Stuart James I in 1603.
    • It followed the Perpendicular style and, although superseded by Elizabethan architecture in the domestic building of any pretensions to fashion, the Tudor style still retained its hold on English taste.
    • The chapel at King's College of the University of Cambridge is one of the finest examples of late Gothic (Perpendicular) English architecture, while its early Renaissance rood screen (separating the nave and chancel), erected in 1532–36 in a striking contrast of style, shows the influence of architecture from the Italian peninsula.

  • Artistic Conventions in Painting

    • The softness of paint application that was typical of Rococo painting is recognized as the opposite of the Neoclassical style.
    • The painting had been commissioned by the royal government and was created in a style that was the perfect combination of idealized structure and dramatic affect.
    • The painting created an uproar, and David was proclaimed to have perfectly defined the Neoclassical taste in his painting style, He thereby became the quintessential painter of the movement.
    • In "Oath of the Haratii," the perspective is perpendicular to the picture plane.
    • Deeply devoted to classical techniques, Ingres is known to have believed himself to be a conservator of the style of the ancient masters, as opposed to an innovator of any sort.

  • Neoclassical Paintings

    • The French Neoclassical style would greatly contribute to the monumentalism of the French Revolution, with the emphasis of both lying in virtue and patriotism.
    • Many painters combined aspects of Romanticism with a vaguely Neoclassical style before David's success, but these works did not strike any chords with audiences.
    • The painting had been commissioned by the royal government and was created in a style that was the perfect combination of idealized structure and dramatic effect.
    • In The Oath of the Horatii, the perspective is perpendicular to the picture plane.
    • Deeply devoted to classical techniques, Ingres is known to have believed himself to be a conservator of the style of the ancient masters, although he later painted subjects in the Romantic style.

  • Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

    • Two lines are perpendicular to each other if they form congruent adjacent angles.
    • The perpendicular symbol is $\perp$.
    • Since $3$ is the negative reciprocal of $-\frac{1}{3}$, the two lines are perpendicular.
    • The line $f(x)=3x-2$ in red is perpendicular to line $g(x)=\frac{-1}{3}x+1$ in blue. 
    • Write equations for lines that are parallel and lines that are perpendicular

  • Helical Motion

    • Helical motion results when the velocity vector is not perpendicular to the magnetic field vector.
    • What if the velocity is not perpendicular to the magnetic field?
    • Then we consider only the component of v that is perpendicular to the field when making our calculations, so that the equations of motion become:
    • shows how electrons not moving perpendicular to magnetic field lines follow the field lines.
    • The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, and so velocity changes in direction but not magnitude.

  • The Early Middle Ages

    • Art historians attempt to classify medieval art into major periods and styles, often with some difficulty, as medieval regions frequently featured distinct artistic styles, such as Anglo-Saxon art or Norse art.
    • However, a generally accepted scheme includes Early Christian art, Migration Period art, Byzantine art, Insular art, Carolingian art, Ottonian art, Romanesque art, and Gothic art, as well as many other periods within these central aesthetic styles.
    • These expressionistic styles developed both in Western Europe and in the Northern aesthetic of energetic decorative elements.
    • One feature of the basilica is the use of a transept, or the "arms" of a cross-shaped building that are perpendicular to the long nave.
    • Identify the major periods and styles into which European art of the Early Middle Ages is classified, and some artistic elements common to all of them.

  • Circular Motion

    • Magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so that it does no work on the charged particle.
    • The simplest case occurs when a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform B-field, such as shown in .
    • If the velocity is not perpendicular to the magnetic field, then v is the component of the velocity perpendicular to the field.
    • The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, and so velocity changes in direction but not magnitude.
    • There is a strong magnetic field perpendicular to the page that causes the curved paths of the particles.

  • Ottonian Architecture in the Early European Middle Ages

    • Surviving examples of this style of architecture are found today in Germany and Belgium.
    • Ottonian architecture chiefly drew its inspiration from both Carolingian and Byzantine architecture and represents the absorption of classical Mediterranean and Christian architectural forms with Germanic styles.
    • When adopted by early Christians, the basilica plan assumed a transept, which runs perpendicular to the nave, forming a cruciform shape to commemorate the Crucifixion.

  • The Cross Product

    • The cross product of two vectors is a vector which is perpendicular to both of the original vectors.
    • The result is a vector which is perpendicular to both of the original vectors.
    • Because it is perpendicular to both original vectors, the resulting vector is normal to the plane of the original vectors.
