Q

are often unpredictable, never quite
repeatable, and often contain fractals. These patterns are can be seen from the
seeds and pinecones to the branches and leaves. They are also visible in self-similar
replication of trees, ferns, and plants throughout nature.

growth of trees. There is also a flow pattern present in meandering rivers with the
repetition of undulating lines.

Q

.This prevalence of
pattern in locomotion extends to the scuttling of insects, the flights of birds, the
pulsations of jellyfish, and also the wave-like movements of fish, worms, and
snakes

Q

m is conceivably the most basic pattern in nature. Our
hearts and lungs follow a regular repeated pattern of sounds or movement whose
timing is adapted to our body’s needs. Many of nature’s rhythms are most likely
similar to a heartbeat, while others are like breathing. The beating of the heart, as
well as breathing, have a default pattern.

Q

is a quality of a certain object that we sense through
touch. It exists as a literal surface that we can feel, see, and imagine. Textures are
of many kinds. It can be bristly, and rough, but it can also be smooth, cold, and
hard.

series of shapes that are typically repeated. These are regularities in the natural
world that are repeated in a predictable manner. cacti succulents

Q

captures symmetries when it still
looks the same after some rotation (of less than one full turn). The degree of
rotational symmetry of an object is recognized by the number of distinct
orientations in which it looks the same for each rotation

Q

Translational symmetry exists in
patterns that we see in nature and in man-made objects. Translations acquire
symmetries when units are repeated and turn out having identical figures, like the
bees’ honeycomb with hexagonal tiles.

pattern. To determine if the series of numbers follow an arithmetic sequence,
check the difference between two consecutive terms.

Q

italian mathematician named after the fibonacci sequence

A

Leonardo Pisano Bigollo 1170-1250

18
Q

is a series
of numbers governed by some unusual arithmetic rule. The sequence is
organized in a way a number can be obtained by adding the two previous
numbers.

A

Fibonacci sequence

19
Q

is made up of squares
whose sizes, surprisingly is also behaving similar to the Fibonacci sequence.

introduced the word set in 1879

A

24
Q

is a set that contains only one element.

A

unit set

25
Q

s a set that the elements in a given set is countable.

A

finite set

26
Q

a set that elements in a given set has no end or not

A

infinite set

27
Q

e numbers that used to measure the number of
elements in a given set. It is just similar in counting the total number of element in a set.
Illustration:
A = { 2, 4, 6, 8 } n = 4
B = { a, c, e } n = 3

A

cardinal set

28
Q

if and only if they have
equal number of cardinality and the element/s are identical.

A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} B = { 3, 5, 2, 4, 1}

A

29
Q

U is the set of all elements under discussion

A

universal set

30
Q

sets if and only if they
have common element/s.
A = { 1, 2, 3}B = { 2, 4, 6 }
Here, sets A and B are joint set since they have common element
such as 2.

A

31
Q

mutually exclusive or if they don’t have common element/s.

A

32
Q

2 ways of describing a set

A

roster or tabular, set-builder or rule

32
Q

(a, b) = (c, d) means that a = c and b = d

A

ordered pair

33
Q

5 operation on sets

A

union of sets, intersection of sets, difference of sets, compliment of sets, cartesian product

34
Q

Expression

A

n is the mathematical analogue of an English noun; it is a correct arrangement
of mathematical symbols used to represent a mathematical object of interest.

35
Q

equivalent set

A

Two sets, say A and B, are said to be equivalent if and only if they
have the exact number of element. There is a 1 – 1 correspondence.
Illustration:
A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } B = { a, b, c, d, e }

36
Q

cardinal set

A

Two sets, say A and B, are said to be equal if and only if they have
equal number of cardinality and the element/s are identical. There is a 1 -1
correspondence.
Illustration:
A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} B = { 3, 5, 2, 4, 1}

37
Q

joint set

A

if and only if they
have common element/s.
A = { 1, 2, 3}B = { 2, 4, 6 }

38
Q

disjoint set

A

if and
only if they are mutually exclusive or if they don’t have common element/s.

39
Q

Venn diagram

A

are used to
depict set intersections (denoted by an upside-down letter U). This type of diagram is used in
scientific and engineering presentations, in theoretical mathematics, in computer applications,
and in statistics.

George Polya

A

is one of the foremost recent mathematicians to make a study
of problem solving. He was born in Hungary and moved to the United States in
1940. He is also known as “The Father of Problem Solving”.

42
Q

george polya

A

He made fundamental contributions to combinatorics, number theory,
numerical analysis and probability theory. He is also noted for his work in heuristics
and mathematics education

43
Q

Heuristic

A

a Greek word means that “find” or “discover”
refers to experience-based techniques for problem solving, learning, and discovery
that gives a solution which is not guaranteed to be optimal.
