MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD

PATTERNS AND
NUMBERS IN NATURE
AND THE WORLD
January 21, 2025
 It can be used to express, solve,
MATHEMATICS and interpret the puzzles
observed in the nature.
EXPRESSES
It helps us to see patterns needed
PATTERNS to generate a broader solution to
a problem.
PATTERNS
It is an ordered set of numbers,
shapes or other math objects,
arranged according to a rule. It
includes symmetrics, fractals,
spirals, meanders, waves,
foams, tessellations, cracks,
and stripes.
 SYMMETRY IS DEFINED AS A
PROPORTIONATE AND BALANCED
SYMMETRY SIMILARITY THAT IS FOUND IN TWO
HALVES OF AN OBJECT, THAT IS, ONE-
HALF IS THE MIRROR IMAGE OF THE
OTHER HALF.

SYMMETRIES

REFLECTION OR BILATERAL RADIAL SYMMETRY TRANSLATIONAL

SYMMETRY SYMMETRY
REFLECTION/BILATERAL
MIRR O R SYMMETRY

It is made with a line

going through an
object which divides
it into two pieces.
RADIAL SYMMETRY

Radial Symmetry is a
rotational symmetry
around fixed point know
as the center.
EXAMPLE
The pattern in the snowflake
repeat six times, indicating
that there is a 6 folds
symmetry.

Angle rotation= 360°/n

TRANSLATIONAL

It exhibited by objects
which do not change its
size and shape even it is
moved to another
location.
TESSELLATION
We can use translations and
reflections to make patterns with
geometric figures called
tessellations. A tessellation is a
pattern in which geometric figures
repeat without any gaps between
them. In other words, the repeated
figures fit perfectly together.
which of the following are tessellations?
SQUARE PACKING
Square packing is a packing
problem where the objective
is to determine how many
congruent squares can be
packed into some larger
shape, often a square or
circle .
area of the circles
x 100%
area of the square

SQUARE PACKING
Suppose you have circles of radius 1 cm,
each of which will then have an area of
πcm². We are then going to fill a plane with
these circles using square packing.

HEXAGONAL PACKING
For hexagonal packing, we can think of each
hexagon as a composed of six equilateral
triangles with the side equal by 2 cm.
area of the circles
x 100%
area of the square

HEXAGONAL PACKING
FRACTALS
Never-ending patterns
that are self-similar
across different scales.
SPIRALS
These are curved patterns
made by series of circular
shapes revolving around a
central point
WORLD
POPULATION
World leaders, sociologists, anthropologists are
interested in studying population, including its
growth.

The exponential growth models A= 30e
describes the population of Tacloban City in thousands, t years after 1995.

What was the population of the city after 1995?

What will be the population in 2017?

A- size of population after it grows

LEONARDO
PISANO BIGOLLO
Fibonacci was an Italian
mathematician from the Republic
of Pisa, considered to be "the most
talented Western mathematician of
the Middle Ages". The name he is
commonly called, Fibonacci, was
made up in 1838 by the Franco-
Italian historian Guillaume Libri
and is short for filius Bonacci.

What is golden ratio?
The golden ratio, also
known as the golden
number, golden
proportion, or the
divine proportion, is a
ratio between two
numbers that equals
approximately 1.618.
