    Patterns

    Patterns are regular,


    repeated, or recurring
    forms or designs.

    SYMMETRY

    The types of symmetry depends


    on the number of sides or faces
    that are symmetrical.

    Never-ending
    patterns that repeat
    indefinitely as the
    pattern is iterated on
    an infinitely smaller
    scale.

    Tesselations
    Patterns that are formed by
    repeated cubes or tiles.

    TRUE OR FALSE

    MATHEMATICS is difficult to
    understand because its application in
    the real-world is rarely seen.

    The Fibonacci Sequence

    17
    Sequence

    A sequence is an ordered list of numbers called


    terms, that may have repeated values. The
    arrangement of these terms is set by a definite
    rule.

    Department of Arts and Sciences ME.DELACRUZ Cavite State University - Cavite 18


    Generating a Sequence
    Analyze the given sequence for its rule and identify the next
    three terms:
    • 1, 10, 100, 1000
    • 2, 5, 9, 14, 20

    Try this!
    1. 16, 32, 64, 128
    2. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8
    Department of Arts and Sciences ME.DELACRUZ Cavite State University - Cavite 19
    The Fibonacci Sequence
    The Fibonacci Sequence is formed by adding the
    preceding two numbers, beginning with 0 and 1.

    Ratios of two Fibonacci numbers approximate the


    Golden Ratio, (ϕ) which considered as the most
    aesthetically pleasing proportion.

    The Fibonacci Sequence

    0+1 = 1 0, 1, 1
    1+1 = 2 0, 1, 1, 2
    1+2 = 3 0, 1, 1, 2, 3
    2+3 = 5 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5
    3+5 = 8 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8
    5+8 = 13 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13
    … 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, …

    • Let Fib(n) be the nth term of the Fibonacci Sequence.
    1. Find Fib (8)
    2. Find Fib (19)
    3. If Fib (22) = 17,711, and Fib(24) = 46,368, what is Fib(23)?
    4. Evaluate the following sums:
    a. Fib(1) + Fib (2) =
    b. Fib(1) + Fib (2) + Fib(3) =
    c. Fib(1) + Fib (2) + Fib(3) + Fib(4) =
    5. Determine the pattern in the successive sums from the previous
    question. What will be the sum of Fib (1) + Fib (2) + … + Fib(10)?

    Mathematics is Indispensable

    “How is it possible that mathematics, a product of human


    thought that is independent of experience, fits so excellently the
    objects of reality?”
    - Albert Einstein

    Exercise 1.3
    • Create a two to three page synthesis paper focusing
    on one of the following aspects of mathematics:
    a. Mathematics helps organize patterns and regularities in
    the world.
    b. Mathematics helps predict the behavior of nature and
    phenomena in the world.
    c. Mathematics helps control nature and occurrences in
    the world for our own ends.
