“Mathematics, as much
as music or any other art, is one of the means by which we rise to a complete self-consciousness.
The significance of mathematics resides precisely in the fact that it is an art: by informing us of
the nature of our own minds, it informs us of much that depends on our minds.”

6 THINGS ABOUT YOU AND MATH

A

Learning math is good for your brain.
Math helps you with your finances
Math helps us have better problem-solving skills.
Practically every career uses math in some way
Math is all around us and helps us understand the world better.
Math is a universal language.

Q

indicates
that you can draw
an imaginary line
across an object and
the resulting parts
are mirror images
of each other.

A

Symmetry

38
Q

3 TYPES OF SYMMETRY (BRS)

A

BILATERAL
RADIAL
SPHERICAL

39
Q

indicates
that if you draw a
line across an object,
the left portion of
that object will be
the mirror reflection
of right portion.

A

BILATERAL

40
Q

indicates
that if you rotate an
object by several
degrees you can still
achieve the same
appearance as the
original position

A

RADIAL

41
Q

indicates that if you
cut a certain object
along its center it
will generate two
identical halves.

A

SPHERICAL

42
Q

focuses on solving real-world problems in various fields, such as physics, biology, sociology, and engineering

A

APPLIED MATHEMATICS

43
Q

need expertise in multiple areas of math and science, as well as collaboration and physical intuition

A

APPLIED MATHEMATICS

44
Q

deals with abstract problems rather than concrete real-world issues. While some of these abstract problems may have their roots in practical matters, pure mathematicians delve deeper to explore technicalities and theoretical challenges

A

PURE MATHEMATICS

45
Q

Pure and applied mathematics are not mutually exclusive;

A

they coexist and serve distinct purposes within the realm of mathematics

46
Q

are focused on proving theorems, while applied mathematicians aim to construct theories that address practical problems

A

MATHEMATICS

51
Q

Many patterns and occurrences exists in ________, in our _______, in our ________

A

NATURE, WORLD, LIFE

52
Q

are visible regularities of form found in the natural world and can also be seen in the universe.

A

PATTERNS IN NATURE

53
Q

which are not just to be admired, they are vital clues to the rules that govern natural processes.

A

NATURE PATTERNS

54
Q
  • Regular
  • Repeated
  • Recurring forms or designs
  • Identify relationships
  • Find logical connections to form generalizations
A

PATTERN

55
Q

EXAMPLES OF PATTERNS

A

EXAMPLES OF PATTTERNS:
1. Patterns can be observed even in stars which move in circles across the sky each day.
2. The weather season cycle each year. All snowflakes contains sixfold symmetry which no two are exactly the same.
3. Patterns can be seen in fish patterns like spotted trunkfish, spotted puffer, blue spotted stingray, spotted moral eel, coral grouper, redlion fish, yellow boxfish and angel fish. These animals and fish stripes and spots attest to mathematical regularities in biological growth and form.
4. Zebras, tigers, cats and snakes are covered in patterns of stripes; leopards and hyenas are covered in pattern of spots and giraffes are covered in pattern of blotches.
5. Natural pattems like the intricate waves across the oceans; sand dunes on deserts; formation of typhoon; water drop with ripple and others. These serves as clues to the rules that govern the flow of water, sand and air.
