What is Mathematical Applications Group?
{{wikify|date=January 2022}} Mathematical Applications Group, Inc. (a.k.a. MAGI or MAGI/SynthaVision) was an early computer technology company founded in 1966 by Dr. Philip Mittelman and located in [[Elmsford, New York]], where it was evaluating nuclear [[radiation]] exposure. ==Business== By modeling structures using combinatorial geometry and applying monte carlo radiation ray tracing techniques the [[mathematician]]s could estimate exposures at various distances and relative locations in and around fictional structures. In 1972, the graphics group called MAGI/SynthaVision was formed at MAGI by Robert Goldstein. ==CGI animation== It was one of four companies hired to create the [[CGI animation]] for the movie [[Tron]]. MAGI was responsible for most of the CGI animation in the first half of Tron, while Triple-I worked mainly on the second half of the movie. MAGI modeled and animated the light cycles, recognizers and tanks. {{authority control}} {{tech-stub}} [[Category:1966 establishments in the United States]] [[Category:American technology companies]] [[Category:Companies based in New York (state)]]
