    Lesson 1. Patterns and Numbers in Nature

    Highlights

    A. What are the three (3) types of pattern?


    The three types of patterns are numeric patterns, geometric patterns and
    patterns of change. Numeric patterns are a sequence of numbers that has been
    created based on a rule called a pattern rule. Geometric patterns, on the other
    hand, consist of a series of shapes. Lastly, patterns of change include changes in
    velocity, speed, acceleration, etc.

    B. What is Golden ratio and what is its estimated value?


    The golden ratio (divine proportion) is the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci
    numbers. Two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the
    ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. The estimated value of the
    golden ratio is 1.618.

    C. What is a fractal?
    A fractal is a type of random pattern with each part having the same
    characteristics as the whole. Some examples of a fractal are mountain formations
    and crystal structures.

    Lesson 2. Systemizing Patterns using Mathematics

    Highlights

    A. Describe a Logarithmic Spiral.


    A Logarithmic Spiral is formed by using the golden triangle. It is a is a self-
    similar spiral curve that often appears in nature. A Logarithmic Spiral is also
    known as the equiangular spiral.

    B. Describe a Golden Spiral.


    A Golden Spiral is a pattern created based on the concept of the golden ratio.
    It is resulted by the connection of the corners of the squares of a golden rectangle
    by quarter-circles. The Golden Spiral is also known as the Fibonacci spiral.

    C. Enumerate and describe five (5) of the 17 equations that changed the world.
    a. Newton’s Law of Gravity – This equation was instrumental in
    understanding the solar system, the orbit of the planets and is a key concept in
    understanding the divine force, momentum and other laws.
    b. The Gaussian Distribution – This is useful in inferential statistics,
    particularly in generalizing events. It may be applied in many contexts such as
    natural sciences and engineering.
    c. The Pythagorean Theorem – This was instrumental in land measurements
    and laying out land maps. It is shown useful in the areas of architecture,
    construction and navigation.

    d. Euler’s Formula - This equation ushered new perspectives on shapes and


    space and provided a clear link between geometry and the knot structure of a
    DNA.
    e. Calculus – This holds incredible power over the physical worlds by
    modelling and controlling systems. It dominates both modern science and
    technology.

    Lesson 3. Systemizing Functionality of Mathematics

    Highlights

    How is mathematics utilized in the following areas?

    A. Pharmaceutical Field
    Mathematics plays a role on pure scientific research in chemistry and
    biology to help develop models of complicated process. Chemical combinations
    and their equations are all governed by mathematical laws.

    B. Agriculture
    Agriculture necessitates the use of mathematics in areas such as land
    measurement, average investment and spending, average return or revenue,
    production per unit area, labor cost, time and work, seed rate, and so on.
    Drawing graphs of various production products can be used to assess the
    farm's progress.

    C. Engineering
    Numerical analysis is a basic tool in modelling engineering problems
    such as phenomena involving heat and magnetism. Mathematics plays a vital
    role in engineering.
