is the science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from elemental practices of
counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects. - ANS-Mathematics
Since the _____, mathematics has been an indispensable adjunct to the physical sciences and
technology, and in more recent times it has assumed a similar role in the quantitative aspects of
the life sciences. - ANS-17th century
are visible regularities of form found in the natural world. These patterns recur in different
contexts and can sometimes be modelled mathematically. - ANS-Patterns in nature
include symmetries, trees, spirals, meanders, waves, foams, tessellations, cracks and stripes. -
ANS-Natural patterns
WHAT ARE THE MATH PATTERNS IN NATURE - ANS-- Fractal
- Spiral
- Voronoi
- Iteration
is a detailed pattern that looks similar at any scale and repeats itself overtime. - ANS-Fractal
EXAMPLES: snowflakes, trees branching, lightning, and ferns - ANS-Fractal
is a curved pattern that focuses on a center point and a series of circular shapes that revolve
around it. - ANS-Spiral
EXAMPLES: pine cones, some shells, pineapples, and hurricanes - ANS-Spiral
pattern provides clues to nature's tendency to favor efficiency: the nearest neighbor, shortest
path, and tightest fit. - ANS-Voronoi
A Voronoi diagram is sometimes also known as a _____. - ANS-Dirichlet tessellation
Voronoi diagrams were considered as early at _____ by _____ and were used by Dirichlet
(1850) in the investigation of positive quadratic forms. - ANS-1644 René Descartes
is the process of infinitely repeating pattern. - ANS-Iteration
The Fibonacci sequence named after the Italian mathematician _____ , who in1202 introduced
the sequence. - ANS-Leonardo Fibonacci of Pisa
