Q

are often unpredictable, never quite
repeatable, and often contain fractals. These patterns are can be seen from the
seeds and pinecones to the branches and leaves. They are also visible in self-similar
replication of trees, ferns, and plants throughout nature.

growth of trees. There is also a flow pattern present in meandering rivers with the
repetition of undulating lines.

Q

.This prevalence of
pattern in locomotion extends to the scuttling of insects, the flights of birds, the
pulsations of jellyfish, and also the wave-like movements of fish, worms, and
snakes

Q

m is conceivably the most basic pattern in nature. Our
hearts and lungs follow a regular repeated pattern of sounds or movement whose
timing is adapted to our body’s needs. Many of nature’s rhythms are most likely
similar to a heartbeat, while others are like breathing. The beating of the heart, as
well as breathing, have a default pattern.

Q

is a quality of a certain object that we sense through
touch. It exists as a literal surface that we can feel, see, and imagine. Textures are
of many kinds. It can be bristly, and rough, but it can also be smooth, cold, and
hard.

Q

is a kind of pattern which consists of a
series of shapes that are typically repeated. These are regularities in the natural
world that are repeated in a predictable manner. cacti succulents

Q

captures symmetries when it still
looks the same after some rotation (of less than one full turn). The degree of
rotational symmetry of an object is recognized by the number of distinct
orientations in which it looks the same for each rotation

Q

Translational symmetry exists in
patterns that we see in nature and in man-made objects. Translations acquire
symmetries when units are repeated and turn out having identical figures, like the
bees’ honeycomb with hexagonal tiles.

Q

. It is a sequence of numbers that follows a definite
pattern. To determine if the series of numbers follow an arithmetic sequence,
check the difference between two consecutive terms.

Q

italian mathematician named after the fibonacci sequence

A

18
Q

is a series
of numbers governed by some unusual arithmetic rule. The sequence is
organized in a way a number can be obtained by adding the two previous
numbers.

A

Fibonacci sequence

19
Q

is made up of squares
whose sizes, surprisingly is also behaving similar to the Fibonacci sequence.

Q

is a collection of well-defined objects.

22
introduced the word set in 1879
georg cantor
23
24
is a set that contains only one element.
unit set
25
s a set that the elements in a given set is countable.
finite set
26
a set that elements in a given set has no end or not
infinite set
27
e numbers that used to measure the number of elements in a given set. It is just similar in counting the total number of element in a set. Illustration: A = { 2, 4, 6, 8 } n = 4 B = { a, c, e } n = 3
cardinal set
28
if and only if they have equal number of cardinality and the element/s are identical. A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} B = { 3, 5, 2, 4, 1}
equal set
29
U is the set of all elements under discussion
universal set
30
sets if and only if they have common element/s. A = { 1, 2, 3}B = { 2, 4, 6 } Here, sets A and B are joint set since they have common element such as 2.
joint sets
31
mutually exclusive or if they don’t have common element/s.
disjoin sets
32
2 ways of describing a set
roster or tabular, set-builder or rule
32
(a, b) = (c, d) means that a = c and b = d
ordered pair
33
5 operation on sets
union of sets, intersection of sets, difference of sets, compliment of sets, cartesian product
34
Expression
n is the mathematical analogue of an English noun; it is a correct arrangement of mathematical symbols used to represent a mathematical object of interest.
35
equivalent set
Two sets, say A and B, are said to be equivalent if and only if they have the exact number of element. There is a 1 – 1 correspondence. Illustration: A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } B = { a, b, c, d, e }
36
cardinal set
Two sets, say A and B, are said to be equal if and only if they have equal number of cardinality and the element/s are identical. There is a 1 -1 correspondence. Illustration: A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} B = { 3, 5, 2, 4, 1}
37
joint set
if and only if they have common element/s. A = { 1, 2, 3}B = { 2, 4, 6 }
38
disjoint set
if and only if they are mutually exclusive or if they don’t have common element/s.
39
Venn diagram
are used to depict set intersections (denoted by an upside-down letter U). This type of diagram is used in scientific and engineering presentations, in theoretical mathematics, in computer applications, and in statistics.

George Polya
is one of the foremost recent mathematicians to make a study of problem solving. He was born in Hungary and moved to the United States in 1940. He is also known as “The Father of Problem Solving”.
42
george polya
He made fundamental contributions to combinatorics, number theory, numerical analysis and probability theory. He is also noted for his work in heuristics and mathematics education
43
Heuristic
a Greek word means that "find" or "discover" refers to experience-based techniques for problem solving, learning, and discovery that gives a solution which is not guaranteed to be optimal.
