Mathematics and Patterns in Nature

This document discusses a unit on mathematics in the modern world. The first unit covers the nature of mathematics and includes chapters on mathematics in the natural world, mathematical language and symbols, and problem solving and reasoning. The second unit discusses mathematics as tools, with chapters on data management, linear programming, mathematics of finance, and logic. The first chapter examines how patterns can be seen everywhere in nature and how mathematics is used to understand the natural order of the world.

Mathematics as the Science of
Patterns and Relationships
Patterns can be seen in almost everywhere that eyes can see.
Patterns can be seen in almost everywhere that eyes can see.
•Fractal Patterns – complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales.
•Tessellation – repeating pattern of polygons, without gaps or overlaps, that covers a flat
surface.
Patterns are used to understand the natural order of the
world.
Mathematics and patterns are two terms that are profoundly
associated with one another.
•Mathematics can be described as the collection of ideas
from different mathematicians from different ages across
the world.
•These ideas are innately interconnected with one another.
