What I have learned about our topic last meeting in mathematics in modern world firstly,
was the definitions of mathematics, it is a systematic and abstract discipline that focusses on the
investigation of quantities, numbers, structure, space, and patterns and the study of different
kinds of pattern in math and of course the meaning of mathematics will not leg behind this are
some meaning of mathematics, patterns, arithmetic sequence, geometric sequence and fibonacci
sequence. Also I learned including the fact that we use not the only ones who use math, like
mathematicians, scientist, and many others. Also the mathematics is about curiosity, a yearning
for the truth, trial and error and the last facing more questions and problems to solve without
fear.
Secondly, mathematics as a study of patterns have a common types of numbers patterns
which is arithmetic sequence, geometric sequence, fibonacci sequence. Arithmetic sequence is a
list of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms in constant and where you add
the same amount each time, geometric sequence these are like exponential growth, where you
multiply by the same amount each time, while the fibonacci sequence is a set of steadily
increasing numbers where each number is equal the sum of the preceding two numbers.
Thirdly, mathematics is nature is intricately woven into the fabric of nature, and many
natural phenomena can be described and understood through mathematical principles and
patterns. This is my understanding about mathematics. In addition, nature a science and
mathematics unit that allows student to explore and gain knowledge about mathematical patterns
found in nature and the two kinds of symmetry bilateral symmetry and radial symmetry. Bilateral
means dividing an organism into halves which results in mirror images. The radial symmetry is
found in both natural and human-made objects, can you say human-made are created or caused
by people rather than occurring naturally and we have three shapes these are SPHERE,
HEXAGON and CONE. Can you say fractals never ending pattern fractals are complex and self-
repeating patterns that exhibit self-, similarity at different scales.
