1.1 Patterns and Numbers in Nature and the World
Patterns are regular, repeated, or recurring forms or design. It is when there are things that are arranged following a
rule or rules. A pattern can also be made from objects, colors, shapes and numbers and sounds.
Types of Patterns
Symmetry
 the property by which the sides of a figure or object reflect each other across a line (Encyclopedia
Britannica)

Axis of symmetry Axis of symmetry

 Axis of symmetry

Spiral
 a curve which emanates from a point, moving farther away as it revolves around the point

  One of a series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a
river.

Wave
  is a disturbance of a field in which a physical attribute oscillates repeatedly at each point or
propagates from each point to neighboring points, or seems to move through space.

Foam
 is an object formed by trapping pockets of gas in a liquid or solid. A bath sponge and the head on
a glass of beer are examples of foams. In most foams, the volume of gas is large, with thin films of
liquid or solid separating the regions of gas. Soap foams are also known as suds.

Tessellation
  the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no
gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of
geometries.

Fracture or crack
 is the separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress. The
fracture of a solid usually occurs due to the development of certain displacement discontinuity
surfaces within the solid. If a displacement develops perpendicular to the surface of displacement,
it is called a normal tensile crack or simply a crack; if a displacement develops tangentially to the
surface of displacement, it is called a shear crack, slip band, or dislocation.

Stripes
 made by a series of bands or strips, often of the same width and color along length.

Marawoy, Lipa City, Batangas 4217 | https://www.facebook.com/KLLOfficial/

 Fractals
 a curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole.
Fractals are useful in modelling structures (such as eroded coastlines or snowflakes) in which
similar patterns recur at progressively smaller scales, and in describing partly random or chaotic
phenomena such as crystal growth, fluid turbulence, and galaxy formation.
 Are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. Created by repeating a
simple process

Sequence
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers, called terms that may have repeated values. The arrangement of these
terms is set by a definite rule.
A sequence is an arrangement of any objects or a set of numbers in a particular order followed by some rule. If a1, a2,
a3, a4,……… etc. denote the terms of a sequence, then 1,2,3,4,…..denotes the position of the term.
A sequence can be defined based on the number of terms i.e. either finite sequence or infinite sequence .
The following items are examples of sequence.
1. 11. 17, 23, 29, 35,
2. 8, 16, 32, 64,128
3. 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
Arithmetic Sequences
A sequence in which every term is created by adding or subtracting a definite number to the preceding
number is an arithmetic sequence.
1. 11. 17, 23, 29, 35, ___

Geometric Sequences
A sequence in which every term is obtained by multiplying or dividing a definite number with the
preceding number is known as a geometric sequence.
2. 8, 16, 32, 64,128

8 16 32 64 128 256 512

x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2
Fibonacci Sequence
Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician from the middle ages who came up with a series of numbers
called Fibonacci numbers. Each number added to the next makes the next number in the sequence and so on.
Fibonacci numbers form an interesting sequence of numbers in which each element is obtained by
adding two preceding elements and the sequence starts with 0 and 1. Sequence is defined as, F0 = 0 and
F1 = 1 and Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2
Example 1
0
1 = (0+1)
1 = (1+1)
2 = (1+2)
3 = ( 2 +3 )
5 = (3+5)
8 = (5+8)
13 = ( 8 + 13 )
21 = ( 13 + 21 )
34 = ( 21 + 34 )

1.2 Mathematics for our World

Roles of Mathematics in some Disciplines

Math is incredibly important in our lives and, without realizing it, we use mathematical concepts, as
well as the skills we learn from doing math problems every day.  The laws of mathematics govern everything
around us, and without a good understanding of them, one can encounter significant difficulties in life.

Importance of Mathematics

Here are some main discipline in which the role mathematics is widely accepted:
1. Mathematics in Physical Sciences
Mathematics is used in Physical Science to calculate the measurements of objects and their
characteristics, as well as to show the relationship between different functions and properties. Arithmetic,
algebra and advanced mathematics may be used.

Marawoy, Lipa City, Batangas 4217 | https://www.facebook.com/KLLOfficial/

 Arithmetic and algebra are used to establish values and solve simple equations or formulae.
In classical or everyday Physics and Chemistry, normal values are used to solve equations. In
Astronomy, distances, sizes and masses are very large. Special nomenclature is required to represent these
values. In Atomic Physics and some areas of Chemistry, sizes and masses are small, although quantities may
be large.
Arithmetic consists of simple operations with numbers and values. Algebra is used to show
relationships before the measured numbers are used for calculations. Higher math is used for complex
relationships between properties
2. Mathematics and Agriculture

Agriculture as a science depends extensively on mathematics. It needs a direct application of

mathematics, such as measurement of land area, averaged investment and expenditure, average
return of income, production per unit area and etc. Progress farm can be judged by drawing graphs of
different items of production.

3. Mathematics and Psychology

The great enthusiast Herbert said, “it is not only possible, but necessary that mathematics be applied
to Psychology”. Now, experimental psychology has become highly mathematical due to its concern
with such factors as intelligence quotients, deviation, means, and probable errors.

4. Mathematics in Music
Leibnitz, the great mathematician said, “Music is a Hidden exercise in Arithmetic of a mind
unconscious of dealing with numbers”. Phytagoras said, “where harmony is, there are numbers”.
Calculations are the root of all sorts of advancement in different disciplines. The rhythm that we find in
all music notes is the result of innumerable permutations and combinations of Sapta Swara.
5. Mathematics in Management

Mathematics in management is a great challenge to imaginative minds. It is not meant for the routine
thinkers. Different Mathematical models are being used to discuss management problems of hospital,
public health, pollution, educational planning and administration and similar other problems of social
decisions. In order to apply mathematics to management, one must know the mathematical
techniques and the conditions under which these techniques are applicable.
