    The student wrote a reaction paper about the science documentary "The Math Mystery Mathematics in Nature and Universe" from 2016. The documentary showed how mathematics is found throughout nature in patterns like the Fibonacci sequence and in music. It also demonstrated how math explains phenomena like different weights falling at the same speed and the colors of a rainbow. Through the documentary, the student learned that math is more pervasive and important than they had realized, appearing everywhere from cell structures to musical scales to the patterns of stars. They were surprised by how far math can explain and that it is an essential tool for understanding the universe.

    Reaction Paper about The Math Mystery Mathematics in Nature and


    Universe: Science Documentary 2016

    Mathematics in Modern World

    Submitted to: Mr. Oscar Poloyapoy

    The Math Mystery Mathematics in Nature and Universe is a Science Documentary way back
    2016. On the first few minutes of the video it really doesn't captured my interest because I’m not
    into documentary videos. I was also bored and sleepy because of the speaker's voice. However,
    as the speaker stated new facts and information in detailed, my curiosity increases. Before
    watching this documentary, what I only knew is that Mathematics and Science are related with
    each other, and some of the mathematical equation cannot be used in our daily lives but after
    watching this documentary I was wrong. And I realized that there is a deeper and reasonable
    reason why Mathematics and Science are related and important.

    In this video it shows that Mathematics is the Universal Language and perhaps civilization
    greatest achievements. While watching this documentary I realized that I experienced some of
    the concepts mentioned, but I just didn’t noticed it and they are somehow connected to
    Mathematics. Like when I accidentally dropped my phone and wallet, though they have different
    weight they still fell on the same time. According to Aristotle, heavier objects fall faster but
    that’s not what happened when I dropped two things with different weight. And there is Galileo
    Galilei made a reasonable explanation and contradict what Aristotle told about the falling
    objects.

    I was amazed when they said that Mathematics can also be found in nature. Say for example the
    Fibbonaci sequence. According to Mario Livio Fibonacci sequence quite frequently appear in
    nature and Christopher Gole said that Fibonacci numbers do appear a lot in botany. I was even
    more amazed when the speaker said that pi tells us which colors should appear in a rainbow and
    how middle sea should sound on a piano. Last that amazed me is when the speaker said that
    Mathematics can also be found in music. I was amazed because I thought music is one of the
    many way to express people’s feeling and it doesn’t have any connection in Mathematics.
    According to a Greek philosopher Pythagoras a beautiful musical relationship is also a beautiful
    mathematical relationship.

    I can somehow relate when Mak Tegmark said he sees a similitary in our world and computer
    game because everytime after I played any computer games, I always asked myself what if this
    life is also a game and there is someone who’s controlling us like we do in computer games.

    After watching the video I was still shocked that Mathematics can go this far because at first I
    really thought that Mathematics can only answer “how many or how much”. This video taught
    me that Mathematics is everywhere, it can be seen from the structure of the flowers, the music
    we hear, to the patterns of constellation and Mathematics does so well in explaining the universe.
    According to Galileo Galilei “Mathematics could be used as a tool to uncovered and discovered
    the hidden rules of our world”. Whether Mathematics is invented or discovered or Mathematics
    is effective or not. We still can’t deny the fact that Mathematics has a big contribution in our
    daily lives and in our world. It may still great math mystery, but on the brighter side it had a big
    impact in what our world can do and what our world now.
