Post-viewing Activity (5 credits)

What are the key insights you were able to generate after watching the two crash courses? Below are
guide/process questions to help you consolidate your answers. Your work will be graded based on the content and
relevance of your writeup to the two videos you watched. Encode your answer on the space provided below.

• What is Mathematics? The study of numbers, patterns, measurements and quantity.

• What is Mathematics for? In addition to being a fundamental tool in many professions, Mathematics is also the building block
of our daily life.
• What is Mathematics about? We study it to develop our capacity for critical, analytical, and creative thinking.
• How is Mathematics done? Mathematics done by computing, solving practical problems in business and even in our daily
lives understanding loans is just one example of how mathematics is used.
• Who uses Mathematics? All of us uses mathematics as part of our daily lives
• Why is it important to learn Mathematics? Mathematics is important for us to understand the world. It encourages our logical
reasoning, creative thinking as well as critical thinking.

● Insight about the two crash course

Numerous musical compositions make use of the golden ratio and the Fibonacci number sequence. The octave, the
fundamental building block of melody and harmony contains the numbers. Surprisingly frequently, Fibonacci numbers can be
found in nature, exactly like the petals of a flower. Every living thing's growth is also relevant to it. As I watch the video I
realize that many of the natural things follow the Fibonacci sequence.
