Patterns and Numbers in Nature and the
World

 The mathematics in our world is rooted in patterns.


 Patterns is a structure, form, or design that is regular, consistent, or recurring.
 It can be found in nature, in human-made designs, or in abstract ideas.
Different Kinds of Patterns

 Patterns of Visuals-These patterns are often unpredictable, never repeatable, and often
contain fractals.
 Patterns of Flow – The flow of liquids provides an inexhaustible supply of nature’s patterns.
Patterns of flow are usually found in water, stone, and even growth of trees.
 Patterns of Movement- This pattern in locomotion extends to the scuttling of insects, the
flights of birds, the pulsation of jellyfish, also the wave – like movements of fish, worms, and
snakes.
 Patterns of Rhythm – This is the most basic pattern in nature. It follows regular repeated
pattern of sounds or movement whose adapted to our body’s need.
Different Kinds of Patterns

 Waves and Dunes


Different Kinds of Patterns

 Waves and Dunes


A wave is any form of disturbance that carries energy as it moves. Waves are of different
kinds: mechanical waves which propagate through a medium, i.e. air or water, making it
oscillate as waves pass by.
Different Kinds of Patterns

 Spots and Stripes


 Spots and Stripes
We can see patterns such as stripes and spots like on the skin of a giraffe and zebra
respectively. Patterns like spots and stripes that are commonly present in different organisms
are results of a reaction-diffusion system. The size and shape of the patterns depend on how
fast the chemical diffuse and how strongly they interact.
 Spirals
 Spirals
The spiral patterns exist on the scale of the cosmos to the miniscule forms of microscopic
animals on earth. The milky way that contains our Solar System is a barred spiral galaxy
with a band of bright stars emerging from the center running across the middle of it. It
also common and noticeable among plants and some animals.
 Symmetries
In symmetries , if a figure can be folded or divided into two with two halves
which are the same. It is also used to classify and organize information about
patterns by classifying the motion or deformation of both pattern structure and
process. There are may kinds of symmetry, and the most important ones are
reflections, rotations, and translations. It also known less formally called flips,
turns, and slides.
 Fibonacci in Nature
Fibonacci Numbers appear from the smallest up to biggest objects in the
natural world. For instance, the petal of flowers are said to be the most
common among then, i.e. Marigold flower.
