PRELIMS - LESSON 2 Flashcards
are visible regularities of form found in the natural world. These patterns recur in different contexts and can sometimes be modelled mathematically.
PATTERN IN NATURE
is a discernible regularity in the world or in a man-made design.
PATTERN
is the fact that the same thing always happens in the same circumstances
REGULARITY
There is______ if an imaginary
line is drawn across an object, the
resulting parts are mirrors of each
other, like the following figures.
SYMMETRY
Is a curve which emanates
from a point, moving farther
away as it revolves around the
point.
SPIRAL
is one of a series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops,
turns, winding in the channel of a river, stream, or river
swinging from side to side as it flow across its floodplain or shifts its channel within a valley.
MEANDER
is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or
space, with little or associated mass transport.
- Consists of oscillations or vibrations of a physical medium or field, around relatively fixed location.
WAVE
- Is a substance formed
by trapping pockets of
gas in liquid or solid. - A bath soap and the
head on a glass of
beer are examples of
foams - In most foams, the
volume of gas is large,
with thin films or liquid
or solid separating the
regions of gas. - Soap forms also
known as SUDS.
FOAM
A ________ of a flat
surface is the tiling of
a plane using one or
more geometric
shape called tiles,
with no overlaps and
no gaps.
- In mathematics,
tessellations can be
generalized through
higher dimension and
a variety of
geometries.
TESSELATION
linear openings that form in
materials to relieve stress. The
pattern of cracks indicates whether
the material is elastic or not
FRACTURE OR CRACK
is a strip or band that has a
different color from the surface
surrounding it. This may be
seen in various living things,
especially animals.
STRIPES
A ______ is a never-ending pattern
- Each part of the object is similar to the
whole object. Fractals are infinitely
complex patterns that are self-similar
across different scales.
FRACTAL
These are the processes of
rotation, reflection and scaling.
Many plant forms utilize these
processes to generate their
structure
AFFINE TRANSFORMATIONS
- It is a curved pattern that focuses on a center point
and a series of circular shapes that revolve around it.
SPIRAL
arranged or having parts arranged like
lines coming out of the center of the circle
RADIAL
to break or crack
FRACTURED
It is a list or set of numbers that follow a certain
sequence or pattern. As an arrangement of number, it
illustrates a way that it follows a particular property or
pattern. When numbers are arranged in either
______ or ______ order, and have with it basic
operations of mathematics or a certain series of
arithmetical operation like addition or multiplication
repeatedly done. An _______ is made by
adding the same value each time. The value added is
called the common difference.
NUMBER PATTERNS
ascending or descending
arithmetic sequence
A __________ is a kind of pattern formed of
sequences of lines and curves to form geometric
shapes and figures. A motif, pattern, or design depicting
abstract, nonrepresentational shapes such as lines,
circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, and polygons.
Geometric patterns can be associated with wall
paper designs and tiling. They could also be associated
to number patterns and predict the next geometric
shape that would follow the sequence.
