    This document discusses patterns in nature and mathematics. It begins by introducing how humans identify patterns consciously and subconsciously. It then defines different types of patterns like line symmetry, rotational symmetry, and translational symmetry seen in objects like butterflies, flowers, and honeycombs. It provides examples of rotational symmetry using angles and discusses packing problems involving filling spaces with circles using different packing methods.

    CHAPTER

    1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


    SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 Daniel Belazel A. Garcia

    INTRODUCTION:
    - coming of the “Digital Age” contributes to our consumption and production of data
    - despite of this fast-paced changing society,are we still appreciate the beauty of the things around us?
    - we tend to identify and follow the PATTERNS, whether consciously or subconsciously, and because of this we are able to survive up to this era
    - we will look at the patterns and regularities in the world and how mathematics played a huge part both in nature and human endeavor

    PATTERN
    - regular, repeated or recurring forms or designs
    - to identify relationships and find logical
    connections
    Patterns in Nature: - to form generalizations and make predictions

    Line / Bilateral Symmetry - (mirror images), divided along the mid-line/imaginary line

    ex:
    etc.

    butterfly human body

    Rotational / Radial Symmetry - object is rotated in a certain direction around a point while achieving the same appearance
    - Angle rotation P ( the smallest angle that a figure can be rotated while still preserving
    ex: original formation)
    P = 360
    3 (petals/fold) 360
    = 120
    P= n where in n is the order (n-fold rotational symmetry)

    Translational Symmetry - (repeating patterns) object is relocated to another position while maintaining its general or exact
    orientation.
    Ex: honeycomb

    Honey Comb and Packing Problem


    Packing Problems - finding the optimum method of filling up a given space such as circle or spherical container.
    Ex 1: Suppose you have a circles of radius 1cm, each of which will have an area of πcm² . We are then going
    to fill a plane with these circles using: SQUARE PACKING , HEXAGONAL PACKING
    Given: r = 1cm a = πcm²
