Nature of Mathematics
The Fibonacci Sequence and Mathematics for our World
In the previous lesson, we discussed that being able to
recognize patterns is hardwired among humans which makes it
important to learn the nature of mathematics since it is unavoidable
in the real world. That is why students cannot stay away from
attending Math classes because the theories and applications are
needed in any workplace. In mathematics, we can make patterns by
performing math operations repeatedly. For example, if we choose
the number 5 to be the first term in a pattern and we decide to add 7
to this first term then getting the value 12. Repeating this process
several times, we get 5, 12, 19, 26, 33, … as the terms in the
pattern. We refer to this list of ordered numbers as a sequence.

IV. Lesson Objectives
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:
a. identify patterns in nature and regularities
b. articulate the importance of mathematics in a person’s life
c. argue about the nature of mathematics, what it is, how is it
expressed, represented, and used
d. discuss the role of mathematics in some disciplines
e. express appreciation for mathematics as human endeavor

From the finished activity, you saw different sequences.

So, what is a sequence?
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers, called terms, that may have repeated values. The
arrangement of the terms follow a definite rule. The terms of a sequence can be generated by
applying the rule to previous terms of the sequence.
The last item in the activity, {1, 1, 2, 3, 5} shows a special sequence called a Fibonacci
sequence. This is also known as the Golden Ratio and was named after the Italian
Mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci
A Fibonacci sequence is an integer sequence which follows the rule where every number
after the first two is the sum of the two preceding numbers.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, …
The sequence Fn of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation:

𝑭𝒏 = 𝑭𝒏−𝟏 + 𝑭𝒏−𝟐 with seed values F1 = 1, F2 = 1 and F3 = 2

The first 6 Fibonacci numbers 𝑭𝒏 for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are

𝑭𝟎 𝑭𝟏 𝑭𝟐 𝑭𝟑 𝑭𝟒 𝑭𝟓 𝑭𝟔

0 1 1 2 3 5 8

Although the Golden Ratio does not account for every structure or pattern, it is certainly a major
basis. Here are some examples in nature and the world.
1. seed heads and pinecones
2. tree branches
3. spiral galaxies and hurricanes
4. DNA molecule (science)
5. Parthenon, Notre Dame cathedral (art and architecture)
In this lesson, you have already seen how evident math is in the natural world specifically how
patterns that exist in nature follow logical and mathematical structures. Therefore, it is important
that we learn said concepts and apply them in different disciplines and in solving problems in
society.

Since math is prevalent in various disciplines, every person should have a thorough
understanding of the discipline as a human endeavor. Mathematics brings impact to the lives of
students, workers, or ordinary people in society. The influences of Math affect anyone for a
lifetime. Math is appreciated as a human endeavor because all professionals and ordinary
people apply its theories and concepts in the office, laboratory, and marketplace. According to
Mark Karadimos (2020), the following professions utilize Mathematics in their scope and field of
work.
• Accountants
• Agriculturists

How Can Math Be So Universal?

Organization Prediction Control Indispensable

Mathematics helps organize patterns and regularities in the world. Mathematics helps predict
the behavior of nature and phenomena in the world. It also helps humans exert control over
occurrences in the world for the advancement of our civilization. It plays a huge role in the
endeavors of our world. As such, its study should be accepted as it facilitates making smarter
decisions and it brings us closer to understanding nature and our world.

Mathematics is a conscious use of issue. Besides, the subject of Mathematics is one of the principle
subjects of our life. Notwithstanding which field or calling you to have a spot with, its use is everywhere.
That is the explanation it is fundamental to have a fair understanding of the subject. Despite the fact that
the fundamentals of science start from school; in any case, its utilization continues till we become adults,
and thusly, it might be said that maths has turned into an imperative part. Imagining our lives without it
looks like a boat without a sail. You might be stunned to understand that we use science reliably, even
without knowing it. From dialing numbers on the phone to giving money for making the portions, our
existence is encompassed by math. So let us see what influence this subject has made on our lives
While planning food, we generally measure the various fixings to cook the ideal amount as it were.
This is conceivable only because of mathematics. On the off chance that we didn’t know about the
numbers, it would not have been reasonable to quantify, make changes, and cook delicious food. So you
can say that our day starts with the idea of maths. While going shopping, we set up a rundown of things we
require, compute the necessary measure of cash for it, and so forth. This count depends on numbers which
come from mathematics. Without the numbers, you can’t choose the amount you have to pay to the
merchant and the amount you have spared. So on account of shopping as well, you are encircled by the
universe of mathematics.
This is where various mathematics ideas are applied, and accordingly, the specialists need to have
a decent agreement and order of the subject. Taking care of the bank’s exchanges isn’t straightforward,
and you have to have some information on mathematics to keep up your record, store and pull out cash,
and so forth. On the off chance you wish to advance, you have to consider the interest you should pay and
the month to month premium you would need to pay. The financial area is identified with maths; thus,
even the clients should be acquainted with it. Everybody loves to travel, yet there is much more to it than
the delight. While arranging your excursion, you do not just need to choose where you wish to go yet book
your inn, tickets, and so forth. This requires spending arranging and a feeling of comprehension of
mathematics with the goal that you can achieve the various assignments effectively. From making a trip
separation to its cost, transport tickets, employing taxis, and so forth all require maths.
Subsequently, from the above models, you may have a reasonable thought that there is no such
region where the idea of mathematics isn’t utilized. You can’t manage without this subject, and that is why
it is essential to keep your rudiments option to play out the regular exercises of life. So mess around with
the number and appreciate

8. The ratio 𝐹𝑖𝑏 (𝑛+1)

as n gets larger is said to approach the Golden Ratio, which is
𝐹𝑖𝑏 (𝑛)

approximately equal to 1.618.

a. What happens to the inverse of this ratio, 𝐹𝑖𝑏 (𝑛)
?
𝐹𝑖𝑏 (𝑛+1)

b. What number does this quantity approach?

c. How does this compare to the original ratio?

ANSWER FOR A,B, and C:

Golden Ratio is exactly equal to (1+sqrt(5))/2, which approximately equal to 1.6180339… The Golden Ratio
has the interesting property that its reciprocal (or inverse) is equal to itself minus 1. So the inverse of the
golden ratio is approximately equal to 0.6180339.. or exactly equal to 2/(1+sqrt(5))

For me Fibonacci succession is one of the most renowned and maybe the most intriguing number
examples with regards to math. A long way from being only an anomaly, this grouping repeats in structures
found all through nature - from the course of action of whorls on a pinecone to the parts of certain plant
stems. Other than nature, various instances of the Fibonacci arrangement just as its subsidiary, the Golden
Ratio can be found in craftsmanship, a financial exchange, and different spaces of society and culture. In
the paper, a portion of the fascinating realities of Fibonacci number are talked about.
