Answers | Final Exam Guide FOR 2025/2026 (the
most recent quizzes)
máthema - ✔✔"that which
is learnt" or "lesson" Greek word
Galileo - ✔✔Mathematics is the language in which God has written in the universe
Auguste Comte - ✔✔The science of indirect measurement.
Walter Warwick Sawyer - ✔✔Mathematics is the classification and study of all possible patterns
Ralph Abraham - ✔✔Mathematics is our one and only strategy for understanding for the
complexity of nature
Stewart - ✔✔Mathematics is a formal system of thought recognizing, classifying and exploiting
patterns and relationships
pattern - ✔✔repetitive and duplicative,
their underlying structure regularities
can be modelled mathematically.
pattern - ✔✔is a structure, form, or design
that is regular, consistent, or recurring.
fractal pattern - ✔✔fractus
("fragmented", or "broken")
fractal pattern - ✔✔coined by a Polish-
born mathematician Benoit B.
Mandelbrot.
fractal - ✔✔possesses the property of self-similarity where
component parts resemble the whole.
fractal - ✔✔any various extremely irregular curves or
, shapes for which any suitable chosen part is
similar in shape to a larger or smaller part
when magnified or reduced to the same size.
SYMMETRY - ✔✔symmetry as a sense
of harmonious and beautiful proportion
of balance or an object is invariant to any
of various transformations such as
reflection, rotation, or scaling.
Bilateral Symmetry - ✔✔is formed when organism is divided into two
and the left side approximately mirrors the
right side along the midline
angle of rotation - ✔✔smallest angle that
a figure can be rotated while still preserving the
original formation.
Radial Symmetry (Rotational Symmetry) - ✔✔a type of symmetry around a fixed point known
as the
center and it can be classified as either cyclic or dihedral.
SPIRALS - ✔✔self-similar curve which often appears in
nature and was first described by Descartes and
investigated by Jacob Bernoulli, who called it
Spira mirabilis which means "the marvelous
spiral".
SPIRALS - ✔✔plane curve that winds around a central point
while moving farther from it.
CRACKS - ✔✔linear openings that form in
materials to relieve stress. The pattern
of cracks indicates whether the material
is elastic or not.
