The document contains two assignments from a class on fractals and mathematics. For the first assignment, the student watched a video on fractals and answered questions about what they learned, what remained unclear, and what they used to think. For the second assignment, the student watched videos on the fields of mathematics and applications of math and again answered reflective questions. The student expressed learning that fractals are infinitely complex, can be magnified forever while maintaining precision, and occur naturally. They had remaining questions about the discovery of fractals and their infinite nature.

1. Three things that I significantly learned from the video clip
○ Fractals themselves are unique and beautiful in their own ways. It is a common experience for everyone. ○ They can be magnified forever and still have the same precision. ○ Fractals are infinitely complex. 2. Three things that are still unclear to me ○ How fractals were discovered and studied. ○ How scientists knew that fractals were infinite. ○ How these fractals occur naturally. 3. I used to think that ○ Fractals are simply a finite pattern. ○ Fractals can only be produced in a computer, and does not happen naturally. ○ Fractals are basic concepts that can easily be studied. 4. Three questions that I want to ask about the video clips ○ What other fields of science can fractals be applied? ○ What do fractals have in nature and why is it important? ○ Can fractals also be applied in music? If so, how?

1. Three things that I significantly learned from the video clip
○ Mathematics has a lot of different fields in both pure and applied mathematics. ○ Mathematics has many applications in other fields of science, which get more advanced in our daily lives. ○ Understanding mathematics is all about finding patterns and changing perspectives on different objects. 2. Three things that are still unclear to me ○ The specific similarity and difference between pure and applied mathematics, since they both seems to be similar to each other. ○ How people created complex patterns in mathematics, such as calculus, matrices, etc. ○ How all the fields of mathematics fit with each other. 3. I used to think that ○ There are only few fields of mathematics. ○ Pure and applied mathematics are entirely different from each other. ○ Mathematics only involved numbers and patterns. 4. Three questions that I want to ask about the video clips ○ How can I change my perspectives easier in order to understand patterns? ○ Is there a field of mathematics that deals with objects that have entirely no patterns? ○ Why are patterns formed?
