● Fractals - The Colors of Infinity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk6QU94xAb8

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?

● Math is the Hidden Secret to Understanding the World by Roger Antonsen

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?
