THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS
The term ‘mathematics’ is

derived from two Greek
words ‘Manthanein’ and
‘Techne’ Etimological
meaning of Manthanein is
learning and Techne’ is ‘an
art or technique’. Therefore
the meaning of mathematics
is art of learning related to
disciplines or faculties. In
Sanskrit ‘Gan’ means
counting Hence Ganitham is
termed for mathematics
means ‘sum’.
(http://www.dukebadi.in/learn-ctet-2019).
Mathematics in words of different authors :
1. Kant: “Mathematics is the indispensable instrument of all physical resources.”
2. C.F.Gauss: “Mathematics is
https://img.freepik.om the queen of science and
Arithmetic is the queen of all
Mathematics.”
3. Bacon: “Mathematics is the gateway and key to all science.”
4. Benjamin Franklin: “What science can there be more noble, more excellent,
more useful for men, more admirable, high and demonstrative than that of
Mathematics?”
5. Courant & Robbins : “Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects
the active will, the contemplative reason and the desire for aesthetic perfection.
Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction , generality
and individuality.’’
6. Lindsay: “Mathematics is the language of physical sciences and certainly no
more marvelous language was created by the mind of man.”
7. Desecrates: “Mathematics is the science of order and measure.”
8. Aristotle : “Mathematics is the study of quantity.”
9. Bertrand Russell: “Mathematics is a subject identical with logic”.
10. Locke: “Mathematics is a way to settle in the mind a habit of reasoning.”
Province of Laguna
11. J.B.Shaw: “Mathematic is engaged, in fact, in the profound study of art and
the expression of beauty.”
Though there are innumerable definitions of Mathematics, none of them
is comprehensive enough to bring out the meaning of Mathematics full.
However, each definition throws insight in to one (or) more aspects of
Mathematics.Because mathematics plays such a central role in modern culture,
some basic understanding of the nature of mathematics is requisite for scientific
literacy. To achieve this, students need to perceive mathematics as part of the
scientific endeavor, comprehend the nature of mathematical thinking, and
become familiar with key mathematical ideas and skills,
(https://image.slidesharecdn.com).
Where did Mathematics come from?

No one can tell exactly where Mathematics came from but it may simply be part
of us. Even an individual without mathematical training can count using their
fingers, can solve things through basic logic and can determine or recognize
different shapes and its properties.
A Mathematical Look at Snowflakes

Snowflakes are one of the evidence that nature consist of math. It is hexagonal for it
have six points.
It is also have molecules of water from 180 billion to 10 quintillion (1019) and fall at
rate of 3.1 miles per hour.
There are 6 basic types of snowflakes based on their 3 dimensional shape: flat,
column, stars, dendrite, lacy, needle, and capped column. The temperature of the air
and the humidity where the snowflake forms determines the type of snowflake that
will form. Dendrites form when the air temperature is between -8 degrees
Fahrenheit to 14 degrees
https://images.all-free-download.com Fahrenheit. Snowflakes do not
have perfect symmetry. A branch
of geometry called fractal
geometry helps explain the figures of snowflakes. A mathematician, Helge von Koch,
created the Koch snowflake based on the Koch fractal curve.
Bees and Math
Province of Laguna
It will surprised you to find out that

bee know a little more geometry than
humans. They decided to choose
hexagons in building their
honeycombs over a long period of
time and this process is really hard
one.
Marcus Terentius Varro, first
proponent of construction made out
of hexagons and it is more compact
but it took some years for humans to
realize that it’s true indeed.
Thomas Hales, a mathematician at the University of Michigan, solved the riddle
in 1999, it was a mathematical proof.
How the tiger got its stripes?

One of the first mathematicians
developed the theory on equation of
Tiger’s stripes was Alan Turing, who is
better known for his work breaking the
Nazi Enigma code during the Second
World War. Turing’s ground breaking
theory now applies to a wide range of
animals with striped and spotty coats
as well as the patterns on many other
natural things such as leaves and shells.

Sunflowers Do the Math
The numbers of clockwise and

counterclockwise spirals are
consecutive Fibonacci numbers—the
sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and so on, so
that each number is the sum of the last
two. Those spirals pack florets as tight
as can be, maximizing their ability to
gather sunlight for the plant. A plant
hormone called auxin, which spurs the
growth of leaves, flowers, and other
plant organs, is the key: Florets grow
where auxin flows. Using a
mathematical model that describes
https://images.all-free-download.com
how auxin and certain proteins interact
to transport each other around inside
plants, researchers could predict where the hormone would accumulate.
Simulations of that model reproduced patterns exactly matching real "Fibonacci
spirals" in sunflowers.
Mathematics of Seashell Shapes
The variety spiral patterns is visible in a

seashell. The circle's shape changes
periodically like a sine function, creating a
corrugated shell somewhat emulate that
of Paper Nautilus. If instead of a circle we
have a polygon, we can simulate that of Top
Shell or Cone shell. If the rounding shape
periodically changes shape to have spikes,
then we might emulate shells that have
horns such as the Murex shell or Venus's Comb shell. The periodic change might
also emulate those shell having ribs such as the Harper shell.

The Math Behind World Population
Can we tell the world population at this time?

Can we also tell the number of babies born every
second?
There is an awesome clock used by the census
bureau can tell the population of a certain country
and the World changes.
According to the clock in:
-Every 8 seconds there is one birth
-Every 13 seconds there is one death
-Every 38 seconds there is one international
https://www.ritiriwaz.com
migrant
-That's one person every 13 seconds
You can also choose your birthday or other special dates to see what the
population was on that day.
World Population Growth

Population growth is basic to any environmental issue. Humans exert a profound
physical impact on their immediate, regional and global environment.
Space considerations
There is a need for us to consider the space, for we used forest, wetland,
mountain side to be our residences, for it varies. For example, it can be minimal
such as in Japan they considered taking up or using small or the minimal space
for their home. According to one of the friend of the author who is living in Japan,
she observed that most of the houses of Japanese have minimal space for they
believe that most of their times they consume outside their home and they just
stay at home to sleep or at weekend.
Food considerations
We need to eat so land is required for agriculture. Much of that land is irrigated
and fertilized with industrially produced fertilizers. Meat production produces
animal wastes that can result in water pollution via runoff.
Transportation
Roads cover permeable land with impervious paving and generate polluted
runoff. They impact animals by dividing animals habitats which may accelerate
species loss. Roads also provide human access to wilderness and forestland
resulting in alterations of these areas.
Waste Production
Province of Laguna
People in developed countries produce huge amounts of sewage as well as
commercial, residential and industrial wastes. In the U.S. alone each individual
produces about 725 Kg of municipal waste each year (exclusive of mining and
other industrial waste.)
Global considerations
An integrated world economy with loosely regulated world trade causes citizens
of one country to seriously impact the environments of other countries. One
country can obtain raw materials such as tropical hardwoods and ores from
other countries. Toxins cross political boundaries in the form of air and water
pollution.
The Mathematics of Population Growth
Population Growth
An increase in the number of people that reside in a country, state, county, or
city.
Exponential Growth
Exponential growth according to Oxford Dictionary is a growth whose rate
becomes ever more rapid in proportion to the growing total number or size.
It is important to understand the concept of exponential growth for if
exponential use of a resource is not accounted for in any planning-disaster can
happen.
Calculating Exponential Growth (requires calculator with an exponent key)
N = N0 (e)kt
wherein:
e = 2.71828
N = future value
N0 = present value
k = rate of increase
t = number of years over which growth is to be measured
Example
Project the world population in 2017 given the 1997 mid-year population of 5.85
billion and a growth rate of 1.36% per year.
Solution:
N = N0 (e)kt
calculator N = (5.85 x 109) x e(0.0136 x 20)
N = 7.679 x 109
The population in 2017 will be 7.679 billion
Province of Laguna
Population Density
By modifying the compound interest formula, you can determine how long it
would take for a given population at a particular growth rate to reach a density
of one person per unit of earth's surface area.
t = (1/k)ln(N/N0)
wherein:
t = time in years
k = growth rate
ln = natural log
N0 = starting population
N = population density
Example
Starting with the 1997 population and using a world population growth rate of
1.36% determine in what year will the population density reach 1 person/ m2
on dry land. (The earth has a dry land area of 1.31 x 1014 m2.)
Solution
t = (1/k)ln(N/N0)
calculator t = (1/0.0136)ln[(1.31 x 1014)/( 5.85 x 109)]
# years to reach 1.31 x 1014 persons = 736.5 yr
1997 + 736 = 2733

A population density of 1 person/m2 would be reached in the year 2733.
Mathematics Used in Meteorology

Technologies used in meteorology
depend greatly on mathematical
principles as well as physics.
Examples include weather radar, chart
usage and interpretation (such as the
hodograph shown on the right) and
numerical weather prediction.
Meteorologists study the atmosphere.
They examine and attempt to predict
the weather and the effects of air
pollution, amongst other atmospheric
wonders. And how the variables change in time and space.
Hodograph Chart
Basic mathematics used in meteorology
Variables for the mathematics used in meteorology include:
• T for temperature, often qualified with subscripts to denote specific
temperatures,
• P for pressure in millibars,
Province of Laguna
• θ (a Greek letter, theta), which looks like a zero with a horizontal dash
dividing it in half, represents potential temperature.
• u and v for horizontal velocities of varying types, expressed as vector
quantities. Alternatively, they represent vector components of a single
velocity and can be combined with w, vertical velocity, to give a three
dimensional wind field,
• ρ (the Greek letter rho), which sometimes resembles a backwards 9, to
mean density, a function of pressure, temperature and composition,
• the most varying component of composition is humidity. We often use RH
for relative humidity and either a lower case r or q to represent the
mixing ratio, a measure of absolute humidity.
Lesson 2: Fibonacci Sequence
Province of Laguna
Fibonacci Sequence
Leonardo of Pisa is now known

as Fibonacci [pronounced fib-
on-arch-ee] short for filius
Bonacci.
There are a couple of
explanations for the meaning of
Fibonacci:
Fibonacci is a shortening of
•
the Latin "filius Bonacci", used in
the title of his book Libar Abaci
(of which more later),
which means "the son of Bonaccio". His father's name was Guglielmo Bonaccio.
Fi'-Bonacci is like the English names of Robin-son and John-son. But (in Italian)
Bonacci is also the plural of Bonaccio; therefore, two early writers on Fibonacci
(Boncompagni and Milanesi) regard Bonacci as his family name (as in "the
Smiths" for the family of John Smith).
Fibonacci himself wrote both "Bonacci" and "Bonaccii" as well as "Bonacij"; the
uncertainty in the spelling is partly to be ascribed to this mixture of spoken
Italian and written Latin, common at that time. However he did not use the word
"Fibonacci". This seems to have been a nickname probably originating in the
works of Guillaume Libri in 1838, accordigng to L E Sigler's in his Introduction
to Leonardo Pisano's Book of Squares (see Fibonacci's Mathematical Books).
Others think Bonacci may be a kind of nick-name meaning "lucky son" (literally,
"son of good fortune").
The Fibonacci sequence is one of the most famous formulas in mathematics.
Each number in the sequence is the sum of the two numbers that precede it. So,
the sequence goes: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so on. The mathematical
equation describing it is Xn+2= Xn+1 + Xn
The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...
The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it.
• The 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1)
Province of Laguna
• The 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2),

• And the 5 is (2+3), and so on!
Example: the next number in the sequence above is 21+34 = 55
It is that simple!
Here is a longer list:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181,
6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, ...
Makes A Spiral
When we make squares with

those widths, we get a nice
spiral: Do you see how the
squares fit neatly together?
For example 5 and 8 make 13, 8
and 13 make 21, and so on.
Fibonacci Numbers
There is a special relationship between the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci

Numbers (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... etc, each number is the sum of the two
numbers before it).
When we take any two successive (one after the other) Fibonacci Numbers, their
ratio is very close to the Golden Ratio:
A B B/A
2 3 1.5
3 5 1.666666666...
5 8 1.6
8 13 1.625
13 21 1.615384615...
... ... ...
144 233 1.618055556...
233 377 1.618025751...
Province of Laguna
... ... ...
Using The Golden Ratio to Calculate Fibonacci Numbers
And even more surprising is that we can calculate any Fibonacci Number using
the Golden Ratio:
The answer always comes out as a whole number, exactly equal to the addition
of the previous two terms.
Example:
When I used a calculator on this (only entering the Golden Ratio to 6 decimal
places) I got the answer 8.00000033. A more accurate calculation would be
closer to 8.
So, just like we naturally get seven arms when

we use 0.142857 (1/7), we tend to get Fibonacci
Numbers when we use the Golden Ratio.
Spiral Leaf Growth
Province of Laguna
This interesting behavior is not just
found in sunflower seeds.
Leaves, branches and petals can grow in

spirals, too.
Why? So that new leaves don't block the

sun from older leaves, or so that the
maximum amount of rain or dew gets
directed down to the roots.
In fact, when a plant has spirals the rotation tends to be a fraction made with two
successive (one after the other) Fibonacci Numbers, for example:
half rotation is 1/2 (1 and 2 are Fibonacci Numbers)

/5 is also common (both Fibonacci Numbers), and
/8 also (you guessed it!)
ll getting closer and closer to the Golden Ratio.
And that is why Fibonacci Numbers are very

common in plants.
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... etc occur in an amazing
number of places.
Here is a daisy with 21 petals

(but expect a few more or less, because
some may have dropped off or be just growing)
But we don't see this in all plants, as nature has many different methods of
survival.
Lesson 3: Uses and Applications of Mathematics in Everyday Life
Province of Laguna
https://gradeslam.org/blog_images/122/life.png
How is Mathematics Used in Real Life?
Mathematics is a subject that

requires a lot of effort in terms
of thinking, reasoning,
understanding and solving.
Usually, maths students are
considered to be smart people
because of the skills they
possess. In fact, during school,
we have all studied maths every
year, sometimes even cursing
the complex calculations and
procedures wondering what
they have to do with our lives.
Calculus
Calculus is a concept used to
calculate the smallest
difference in a number. It is
divided into differentiation and integration. You might have studied the concept
deeper in your school or college. But have you ever wondered what it actually
means and what it is used for? An architect uses calculus to calculate the
materials required to construct curved structures such as domes and arches.
Electrical engineers use it to calculate the length of power cables between places
that are miles apart. Biologists use it to calculate the rate of growth in microbes.
Algebra
"I know everybody's exes, other than algebra's 'x'." If that was one of your
statements while you were wondering what that 'x' had to do in your life, then
here's the answer to that burning question! The study of DNA and genes can be
better explained in terms of equations. Their properties can be easily deduced
with the help of x and y chromosomes. In economics, x and y are used to
determine the supply and demand of goods. In computer graphics (CG), x and y
Province of Laguna
are used as coordinates to design objects and their movements. The famous
game Mario was designed using 3D animation on CG.
Trigonometry
Sine, cos, tan and cosec. What were all those names anyway?! Each one denotes
an angular measurement. Trigonometric angles are used in the construction of
marine ramps. They are used to spot a location for navigation. They are also used
to determine the depth of algae underwater and sonar systems.
Logarithms
We all can write numbers up to 10 million. Beyond that, can you read the
numbers at one go without actually re-reading and counting the zeros?
Logarithms simplify complicated numbers through exponents and coefficients.
Log tables help you to refer the corresponding numbers and make calculations
less laborious. It is largely used in computing memory spaces and in computer
languages.
Probability
Probability is a concept we use in everyday life. 'Should I take a car or bus to
office?' is something we ask ourselves on a regular basis, and we make the
decision using probability. Probability basically tells you the chances of a specific
occurence of an event. The meticulous calculations can be used in determining
big events such as the probability of you winning a jackpot or a lottery!
Statistics
Statistics, like probability, is a more familiar concept. And like probability, we
use statistics in our everyday lives. Population census is an epitome of statistics.
To get the demographics of a sample size, statistics plays an important role with
its various functions, like while determining average and mean estimates.
Matrices
Matrix is an array of elements processed according to specific needs. In robotic
systems, matrices are used to control the movement of robots. Data structures
and databases make use of this concept for an organised algorithm.
Mensuration
Mensuration is nothing but measurement of different units. From buying
groceries to checking our weight, we use mensuration day in and day out. From
determining the body temperature using a thermometer and a barometer to
determining the weather, mensuration plays an integral role.
Mathematics is also useful in everyday life:
• Investing money (interest rates, profits, etc)
• Estimating costs
• Shopping (is it really a bargain?)
Province of Laguna
• Understanding Computers
• Designing rooms and gardens
• Planning trips

D E Smith's History of Mathematics Volume 1, (Dover, 1958 - a reprint of the orignal

version from 1923) gives a complete list of other books that he wrote and is a fuller
reference on Fibonacci's life and works.
There is another brief biography of Fibonacci which is part of Karen Hunger Pashall's
(Virginia University) The art of Algebra from from al-Khwarizmi to Viéte: A Study in the
Natural Selection of Ideas if you want to read more about the history of mathematics.
Eight Hundred Years Young by A F Horadam (University of New England) in The
Australian Mathematics Teacher Vol 31, 1985, pages 123-134, is an interesting and
readable article on Fibonacci, his names and origins as well as his mathematical works.
He refers to and expands upon the following article...
The Autobiography of Leonardo Pisano R E Grimm, in Fibonacci Quarterly vol
11, 1973, pages 99-104.
Leonard of Pisa and the New Mathematics of the Middle Ages by J and F Gies,
Thomas Y Crowell publishers, 1969, 127 pages, is another book with much on the
background to Fibonacci's life and work.
Della vita e delle opere di Leonardo Pisano Baldassarre Boncompagni, Rome, 1854 is
the only complete printed version of Fibonacci's 1228 edition of Liber Abaci. The the
Math Forum's archives of the History of Mathematics discussion
group contain a useful discussion on some of the controversial topics of Fibonacci's
names and life (February 1999). Use its next>> link to follow the thread of the
Province of Laguna
discussion through its 6 emailed contributions. It talks about the uncertainlty of his
birth and death dates and his names. It seems that Fibonacci never referred to himself
as "Fibonacci" but this was a nick-name given to him by later writers.

Lesson 2: Fibonacci Sequence

Leonardo of Pisa is now known

The Fibonacci sequence is one of the most famous formulas in mathematics.

The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

• The 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1)

• The 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2),
