are regular, repeated, or recurring forms or designs.
patterns
indicated that you can draw an imaginary line across an object and the
resulting parts are mirror images of each other.
symmetry
involve finding the optimum method of filling up a given space
Packing problems
as composed of six equilateral triangles
Hexagon
the formula for exponential growth
A = Pe^rt
e is Euler’s constant with an approximate value of ?
2.718
The formula for exponential growth can also be used for exponential decay
True or false

Sequence
is an ordered list of numbers
Sequence
that may have repeated values.

The arrangement of these terms is set by a definite rule.
Sequence
It
is named after the Italian mathematician ________, who was better known by his nickname
___________.
Leonardo of Pisa, Fibonacci
Fibonacci numbers approach the number
Φ (Phi)
Fibonacci numbers approach the number Φ (Phi), also known as the _____ . This is approximately equal to ______
Golden Ratio, 1.618
We have seen in the preceding sections how evident mathematics is in the natural world,
specifically in how the patterns that we observe in nature follow logical and mathematical
structures.
Mathematics for our World
A lot of events happen around us. In the blink of an eye, several children have already been born,
liters of waters have been consumed, or thousands of tweets have been posted.
Mathematics for Organization
For us to make
sense of all available information, we need mathematical tools to help us make sound analysis
and better decisions.
Mathematics for Organization
is a symbol which represents any number from a given replacement set. The
replacement set is the set of values of the variable.
variable
says that a certain property is true for all elements in a set.
(For example: All positive numbers are greater than zero.)
A universal statement
says that if one this is true, then some other thing also has to be true.
conditional statement
says that there is at least one thing for which the property is true
existential statement
says that a certain property is true for all elements in a set.
A universal statement
is a collection of objects, called the elements of the set.
A set
must be well defined, meaning that its elements can be described and listed without
ambiguity.
A set
