What is Mathematics?
•Mathematics is defined as the study of numbers and
arithmetic operations. Others describe mathematics as a
set of tools or a collection of skills that can be applied
to questions of ‘how many” or “how much.” Still,
others view it is a science which involves logical
reasoning, drawing conclusions from assumed
premises, and strategic reasoning based on accepted
rules, laws, or probabilities. Mathematics is also
considered an art which studies patters for
predictive purposes or a specialized language which
deals with form, size, and quantity.

• Whatever pointof view is taken, there is no denying the fact that mathematics is
universal. People from around the world use math to get things done. It helps them
perform daily tasks as well as make important decisions like buying wisely,
choosing the most appropriate insurance plan, or even betting on an outcome with
the highest chance of actually occurring. The same mathematical concepts and
language are applied regardless of whether the users are Asians, Americans,
Africans or Europeans.

• In examiningthe development of mathematics from historical perspective, it
can be seen that much has been directed towards describing patterns of relationship
that are of interest to various individuals. Patterns arouse curiosity because they can
be directly related to common human experiences.

A Study ofPatterns
• A pattern is arrangement which helps observes anticipate what they might
see or what happen next. A pattern also shown what may have come before. A
pattern organizes information so that it becomes more useful. The human mind is
programmed to make sense of data to bring or to bring order where there is
disorder. It seeks discover relationships and connections between seemingly
unrelated bits of information. In doings so, it sees patterns.

A. Patterns andNumbers in Nature
and the World
• Human mind and culture have developed a
formal system of thought for recognizing,
classifying, and exploiting patterns called
mathematics.
• By using mathematics to organize and
systematize our ideas about patterns, we have
discovered a great secret: nature’s patterns are
not just there to be admired, they are vital clues
to the rules that governs natural processes.

Here are examplesof pattern-seeking behavior of humans from childhood to adulthood:
• A toddler separates blue blocks from red blocks.
• A kindergarten student learns to count.
• A first grader does skip counting.
• A third grader notices that multiplies of two are even numbers.
• A sixth grader creates patterns that cover a plane.
• A junior high school student learns that a function is essentially a pattern of how
one number is transformed to another.
• A college biology undergraduate studies the sequence of DNA and proteins.
• A stock trader studies trends in the stock market.
• A weatherman makes weather forecast based on atmospheric patterns.
• A doctor decides who is healthy and who is not by recognizing a certain health
patterns.

Mathematics is thestudy of patterns
That is one reason why those who use patterns to analyze and solve problems often
find success.
Examples of various patterns.
1. Logic Patterns. Logic patterns are usually the first to be
observed. Classifying things, for example, comes before
numeration. Being able to tell which things are blocks and
which are not precedes learning to count blocks. One kind of
logic pattern deals with the characteristics of various objects
while another deals with order. These patterns are seen on
aptitude tests in which takers are shown a sequence of pictures
and asked to select which figure comes next among several
choices.
23
24.
2. Geometric Patterns-A geometric patterns is a motif or design that
depicts abstract shapes like lines, polygons, and circles, and typically
repeats like a wallpaper. Visual patterns are observed in nature and in art. In
art, patterns present objects in a consistent, regular manners. They appear in
paintings, drawings, tapestries, wallpapers, tilings, and carpets. A pattern
does not repeat exactly as long as long as it provides a way of “organizing”
the artwork. Patterns in nature are often more chaotic. Nature provides many
examples patterns, including symmetries, spirals, tilings, stripes, and
fractional dimensions.
3. Word Patterns- Patterns can also be found in language like the
morphological rules in pluralizing nouns or conjugating verbs for tense, as
well as the metrical rules of poetry. Each of these examples supports
mathematical and natural language understanding. The focus here is patterns
in form and syntax, which lead directly to the study of language in general
and digital communication in particular.

• It cannotbe overstated that it is important to
understand how mathematics regarded as the
study of patterns to become familiar with some
of those patterns and use them in daily life. For
most people, learning mathematics as an
abstract concept before understanding how to
use it does not work. More effort must be
exerted to expose students to mathematical
patterns in various context before, during, and
after its introduction in the subject.

• Typesof Number Patterns in Math
• Arithmetic Sequence. A sequence is group of
numbers that follow a pattern based on a specific
rule. ...
• Geometric Sequence. A geometric sequence is a
list of numbers that are multiplied (or divided) by
the same amount. ...
• Triangular Numbers. ...
• Square Numbers. ...
• Cube Numbers. ...
• Fibonacci Numbers
29.
B. The FibonacciSequence
Think of this!
At the beginning of a month, you are given a
pair of newborn rabbits. After a month the rabbits
have produced no offspring; however, every month
thereafter, the pair of rabbits produces another pair
of rabbits. The offspring reproduce in exactly the
same manner. If none of the rabbits dies, how many
pairs of rabbits will there be at the start of each
succeeding month?
At the start of 4th month, how many pairs of
rabbits will there be?
How about at the start of the 5th and 6th
months? 29
Fibonacci Numbers
• FibonacciNumber is an integer in the
infinite sequence of which the first two
terms are 1 and 1 and each succeeding
term is the sum of the two immediately
preceding.
• The numbers are named after Fibonacci
also known as Leonardo of Pisa or
Leonardo Pisano.
32
33.
• Fibonacci discoveredthat the number of
pairs of rabbits for any month after the
first two months can be determined by
adding the numbers of pairs of rabbits in
each of the two previous months. For
instance, the number of pairs of rabbits
at the start of the sixth month is 3 + 5 =
8.
33
34.
Recursive Definition
• Arecursive definition for a sequence is one in
which each successive term of the sequence
is defined by using some of the preceding
terms. If we use the mathematical notation Fn
to represent the nth Fibonacci number, then
the numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are
given by the following recursive definition.
34
𝐅𝟏 = 𝟏, 𝐅𝟐 = 𝟏, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐅𝐧 = 𝐅𝐧−𝟏 + 𝐅𝐧−𝟐 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧 ≥ 𝟑.
35.
Binet’s Formula
• Thefollowing formula is known as Binet’s formula for
the nth Fibonacci number.
𝐅𝐧 =
𝟏
𝟓
𝟏 + 𝟓
𝟐
𝐧
−
𝟏 − 𝟓
𝟐
𝐧
The advantage of this formula over the recursive formula
𝐅𝐧 = 𝐅𝐧−𝟏 + 𝐅𝐧−𝟐
is that you can determine the nth Fibonacci number
without finding the two preceding Fibonacci numbers.

Fibonacci in Pineappleor Pine
cone
Pineapples have spirals formed by their
hexagonal nubs. The nubs on many pineapples
form 8 spirals that rotate diagonally upward to
the left and 13 spirals that rotate diagonally
upward to the right. The numbers 8 and 13 are
consecutive Fibonacci numbers.

Fibonacci in Sunflower
Theseeds on a sunflower are arranged in
spirals that curve both clockwise and
counterclockwise from the center of the
sunflower’s head to its outer edge. In many
sunflowers, the number of clockwise spirals and
the number of counterclockwise spirals are
consecutive Fibonacci numbers. The number of
clockwise spirals is 34 and the number of
counterclockwise spirals is 55.

C. Mathematics HelpsOrganize Patterns
and Regularities in the World
• Patterns have underlying mathematical
structures
• Every living or nonliving thing in the
world may seem to follow a certain
pattern on their own.
• The mystery of Fibonacci sequence and
the golden ratio as common patterns in
nature.

Mathematics Helps Predictthe
Behavior of Nature and the World
• Mathematics help predict the location, size and
timing of natural disasters
• Made possible by the study of fractals.
A fractal is a mathematical formula of a
pattern that repeats over a wide range of size and
time scales. These patterns are hidden within more
complex systems.
❑Benoit Mandelbrot is the father of fractals, who
described how he has been using fractals to find
order within the complex systems in nature, such
as the shape of coastlines.

Mathematics Helps ControlNature and
Occurrences in the World for our Own Ends
• Fractal Geometry has been
applied in different fields of
knowledge such as in
engineering, computer graphics,
medicine, etc.

• Thanks tothe development of new
mathematical theories, these more elusive
nature’s patterns are beginning to reveal their
secrets. Already we are seeing practical impact
as well as an intellectual one. But most
important of all, it is giving us a deeper vision
of the universe in which we live in, and for our
own place in it.
