Patterns and Numbers in Nature and the
World
• Patterns in nature are visible regularities of form found in the
natural world and can also be seen in the universe.
• Nature patterns which are not just to be admired, are vital clues
to the rules that govern natural processes.
• The development of new mathematical theories begins to reveal
the secret of nature’s patterns.
Patterns and Numbers in Nature and the
World
• Patterns can be observed even in stars which move in circles across
the sky each day. All snowflakes contain six-fold symmetry which
no two are exactly the same. There are evidences by
mathematicians that hexagonal snowflakes have an atomic
geometry of ice crystals.
• Fish and animals patterns attest to mathematical regularities in
biological growth and forms. These evolutionary and functional
arguments explain why these animals need their patterns.
Patterns and Numbers in Nature and the
World
• Natural patterns like the intricate waves across the oceans; sand
dunes on desert; formation of typhoon; water drop with ripple;
and the like serves as clues to the rules that govern the flow of
water, sand, and air.
