MATHEMATICS HELPS ORGANIZE PATTERNS AND REGULARITIES IN THE
WORLD
In this world, people are being molded because of struggles. They become stronger as life
throws them circumstances. Relating it to mathematics, Objects as people, Struggles and
circumstances as the measurements. The problems measure the people how strong they are. The
measurement also serves and test how firm the object is. Mathematics is composed of numbers,
patterns, and regularities etc… The patterns and the regularities are already there. What we only
need to do is examine and understand them through mathematics. Math is the formula and
answer for all the problems concerning about the pattern, regularities and numbers. All patterns
are been organize since the beginning and regularities are involve since its reveal in the world;
all living things around us had patterns and regularities.
In the animal world (humans including) symmetrical animals are regarded as the most
attractive by both sexes. It's like flashing You have perfect genes. Fibonacci numbers are found
in almost any flowers. Sunflowers have the seeds in perfect Fibonacci order. 1 seed then 2 seeds
3 seeds 6 seeds 12 seeds 24 seeds and so on in the flowers. This arrangement ensures maximum
sunlight to each little seed in the flower. If You take the number of petals in a flower, they all
follow a mathematical order.
The light of speed is a constant. If You send a signal and get a return signal, you measure
the time from sending to receiving the signal again. Knowing the speed of light, you can
calculate the distance. The principal behind RADAR. The ears of an owl works like RADAR.
Their faces and ears are slightly asymmetrical. It's an adoption to being able to locate the
direction of the sound. The tiny difference in time a sound hits the ears makes it possible to
pinpoint the direction and distance and predict the movement of the pray. An owl can hit very
precisely in almost total darkness having predicted the point of interception.
Insurance is ruled by math. You can predict accidents, breakdowns, health. Almost
anything can be calculated. They use it to offer You an insurance, you think is worth it, while
they still make money. Lottery is pure math, and some psychology. If You scratch the numbers
and win exactly what You just spent, most of us don't count our losses and think we're lucky
getting a new lottery ticket because it's free.
The mind plays tricks on us. We like order and try to see a known patch. That's why we
can recognize a toot stick man. We simply catalog it in a known box. Maybe that's the
fascinating thing about math. Many things in our Universe is pretty predictable, asking the right
questions holds the answers. It's observing, determining what You see, asking questions about it.
Gaining knowledge by finding an explanation, testing if You're right or wrong. Always being
right is proof of not trying hard enough.
How to do science, is a science in its own right. At university You spend a good part of
the first-year learning how to learn, there's a scientific approach/method in how to do science.
You can't really understand science, if You don't understand the basics. It can be very
intersubjective, only recognized by Your peers. If You can explain a scientific problem to an
eight-year-old, you probably understood it Yourself.
I know there's a lot more to it, I'm barely scratching the surface. I'm the first to admit, I
don't know it all. That's the good thing about getting older. I just like to turn another stone to see
what's hiding underneath. You might just be so lucky to be proven wrong and learn from it.
Google is pure math. The search engine is based on an algorithm. That's why companies buy
data. They want to be even more precise in targeting You with adds. From Your search patterns,
they can predict, what Your income and interests are. Even down to Your temper and
personality.
It gives clues to the segment You belong to. In fact, you don't have to interrogate people
to know who they really are. You can just look at Facebook and Google, there's a good chance
they know You better - than You do Yourself!
Scientists found the sunflower as the perfect example of something that has a Golden
ratio in it. As people we can’t see what the microscope sees in the sunflower. But when you take
a look at the middle of the sunflower using the microscope, you will see the perfect shape
measuring at 1.16814 which is the so-called Golden Ratio.
If You know what phone people use, what computer they use and what search engine
they use. You can begin to say something very specific about the persons You're trying to figure
out. In the end by math and cross references. If You use Bing and Safari as a browser, you’re
most likely not a frontrunner, but accepts the given choice.
Just as an example. The number of difficult words You type, says something about Your
education. You can probably predict the nationality, even when everything is written in English.
Mathematics is all about taking rather complex problems and turning them into something of
value by making it objective and measurable. In that way, it can help organize information and
put them into various patterns through their value (which is something that math can do). It uses
pure logic for solving making even the most complicated problems solvable and predictable
through computation.
As I’ve said, mathematics will always be in our life. It simply organizes patterns and
regularities in the world by the means of it exist in everything that our eyes see. Our world will
not be formed with the help of mathematics as the source of measuring something that is
existing. Mathematics will stay in our life forever because it is part of our journey. In relation to
Fibonacci sequence which exist first in the Old Generation, it is still existing in ours. The
contribution of Fibonacci sequence is very essential by means of having the perfect measurement
in doing something such as paintings, pictures or anything that has something to do with
measurements.
