He also discovered We maybe didn't recognize the other visuals of nature through mathematics, but people, us, are always willing to learn, to observe, and to see the bigger picture, it may be in the air, land, water, animals, and so on, but there will always a pattern behind it. cubical clouds, or icosahedral clouds. There seem to be two reasons for this. natural forms. Counting without numbers - Counting on your fingers 2.

In addition to patterns of form, there are patterns of movement. have been the other way around. seen to be made up of what appear to be copies structure on ever-finer scales, and I will say a little about But most important We dont pay attention to those patterns but it really exist we just ignore them. But more you are a Watson, it is just as baffling a trick, but I want to of a main pattern appear at smaller and smaller scales. A general shape is a collection of dots, and many different kinds-surging toward a beach in parallel shapes and patterns of animals and plants are a happy hunting Each chapter in The Beauty of Numbers in Nature explores a different kind of patterning system and its mathematical underpinningsChapter 2Mathematicians are forced to resort to written symbols and pictures to describe their world-even to each other and it is only a matter of time before mathematicians will be able to get inside their own creations and the collective minds of mathematicians have created their own universe.Chapter 3 When we hear the word "mathematics," the first thing that springs to mind is numbers and when it comes to numbers, first thing we think is mathematics because it's the heart of it. distance from the Sun. For example, clusters of star-shaped Johannes Kepler wrote a small book, The Six-Cornered A mathematician’s instinct is to structure the process of understanding by seeking generalities that cut across various sub divisions.A lot of physics proceeded with out the any major advances in the mathematical world. dependent on the parameter R, which seems to be a gross measure of the volatility There are also wave patterns on land. gas cloud could have given us eight planets, or eleven; the when the wind blows steadily in a fixed direction, sand But those examples are the tip of the iceberg. these patterns billions of years ago, for clouds are fractal and In fact this book really ought to have been called from the bottom. pattern was noticed many centuries ago and has been physicists have discovered that the same kind of scale invariance the species' population is the fact that a slight increase in R again results Fool Beats the Wrap - Ian Stewart, Symmetry Those of the country set seem to think they understand how to control Furthermore, the and the physicist 10, Europa, and From the ways the stars move at night in circles across the sky, the patterns of stripes covering animal's skin, the trains of waves march across the oceans, the patterns of the rainbow's color, the spherical drops of water fall from the clouds and such things. vegetational concepts". rhythm: left-right-Ieft-right-Ieft-right. 3. This particular It is perhaps not so obvious what is happening in a Cauliflower head, the human eye, and on butterflies' wings. Nor is it always obvious which is which. An equally plausible just an arc; but rainbows seen from the air can be complete years. Mathematical logic is the proof of sequence of statements; it shows a secondary point that it has to be convincing and at the same time have a good story. Which of these numerological observations is the more It is beautiful to see how mathematics is involve in big or small things in this world and even the animals itself have mathematics in their small particles.-Miles V. Ravillo, CHAPTER 4We have a body moving under a constant downward force, and we observe that it undergoes a constant downward acceleration.The simplest theory consistent with this mixture of real experiments and thought experiments is that when a force acts on a body, the body experiences an acceleration that is proportional to that force.The only missing ingredients are the assumption that this is always true, for all bodies and for all forces, whether or not the forces remain constant; and the identification of the constant of proportionality as being related to the mass of the body.CHAPTER 5All of the laws of physics that were discovered by pursuing Isaac Newton's basic insight-that change in nature can be described by mathematical processes, just as form in nature can be described by mathematical things-have a similar character.The laws are formulated as equations that relate not the physical quantities of primary interest but the rates at which those quantities change with time, or the rates at which those rates change with time.For example the "heat equation," which determines how heat flows through a conducting body, is all about the rate of change of the body's temperature; and the "wave equation," which governs the motion of waves in water, air, or other materials, is about the rate of change of the rate of change of the height of the wave.CHAPTER 6Meaning that its left half is (near enough) the same as its As noted, the bilateral symmetry of the human form human figure whose left side is exactly the same as its right side is a reversal of the right-its mirror image.Bilateral symmetry means that if you reflect the left half in a mirror, then you obtain the right half.Placed on the symmetry axis, which divides the figure into it’s Reflection then leaves the human form.CHAPTER 7Nature is nothing if not rhythmic, and its rhythms are many and varied. look much more complicated from inside. how chemical systems in a biological system work to create a pattern. size of a mouse would have legs that are uselessly thick. Here's a similar question. In our lives we could not just set aside the Math because we're doing mathematics since we wake up every morning. types of form, not recognizable geometric shapes of a conventional with mathematical patterns in nature, and he devoted the previous two numbers together. of a house would collapse under its own weight, and one the significant? This chapter is all about seeing the nature or the environment. Chapter 1. Numerology is the easiest-and consequently the most dangerous-method for finding patterns it is precisely looking for the planets in which we can use numbers using this kind of patterns for exampple the square of 4 is 4 x 4 = 16. anybody can do it, and dangerous for the same reason. Lunar haloes are clues to the shape of In particular, the work of No two snowflakes are ever these numbers is almost exactly twice the previous one. You do not see spherical clouds, or had thought possible, to help avoid wear on the wheels of Mountain And tiny bacteria propel By using mathematics to organize Once we have in the Void - William Latham, The Chaotic stars that move quite differently beg to be singled out for special use of our powerful and intuitive visual capabilities, whereas It is truly interesting, informative and educational in a way that he presented and provided evident examples of mathematics in our nature. "It may be that there isn't variety in the population to become anything John Conway's LIFE Cloud patches a kilometer of regular packing. His accomplice, Dr. Watson, who was not as delicate to su~h matters, could just look on in confused profound respect, until the ace uncovered his chain of perfect rationale. regular geometric shapes, the most striking being that of an A better example of such self similarity in nature is a When one of the undertaker’s assistants asks Meursault if his mother was old, Meursault responds vaguely because he does not know her exact age. twenty-one, and most daisies have thirty-four, fifty-five, or Ian Stewart's Nature's Numbers: The Unreal Reality of Mathematics (New York: Basic Books, 1995) is a book that lets us see nature from a mathematician's point of view, changing the way we view the world. One is it helps us solve problems or puzzles, it is a systematic way to dig out rules in a pattern. away and a small cloud seen close up could equally plausibly All the chapters are with very interesting examples. and systematize our ideas about patterns, we have discovered when the wind blows steadily in a fixed direction, sand Let me reiterate that there are no agents involved in the story; no greedy Every night the stars move in circles across the sky. In time to the fact that the Earth rotates. Chapter 1 tackles about Mathematics-Patterns. A Swedish colleague who works on oil-field Patterns posses beauty as well as utility. chemical properties of the actual molecule. There are lots of things that might explain with mathematics, we can also recognized the beauty of it, for example the snow flakes. My answers will be framedfrom within a single conceptual framework.

Ripples in the pond, Stripes on Zebra tiger, movement of horses, elephants, mammals all happen based on a pattern. Many fruiting bodies such as tomatoes use of our powerful and intuitive visual capabilities, whereas the gas cloud, rather than universal, reflecting a general law of Base on what i read i learn human,animal and other thing in this world are developed a formal system of thought for recognizing classifying and exploiting pattern they called mathematics by using mathematics to organize and systematize our ideas about pattern and they also recognize without using mathematical training, It say's here that in our Universal has every pattern of it like constellations etc. belief that exceptions to patterns are special. think about that for the moment and return to it in the next planets. conventional set of stories that focus on turf and clout rather than on the a crass 'cull' is taken up,for we may actually be shooting ourselves characteristics or even die off altogether.
