Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our ...

No matter how enigmatic the relationship between math patterns and physics might be, though, the fact of the matter is that both have done a lot to help one another.

Making that connection would require nothing less than establishing universal mathematical rules of elastic patterns. Tobasco has been working on this for years, studying equations that describe ...

A surprising number of plants have spiral patterns in which each leaf, seed, or other structure follows the next at a particular angle called the golden angle. The golden angle is about 137.5º.

The mathematics behind how such never-repeating patterns are created is very useful in understanding how they are formed and even in designing them with specific properties. That is why we at the ...

Re "The New Math: Three Concepts in Two Years; Common Core drives new look at math instruction," July 22 article: In 2008, the National Mathematics Advisory Panel recommended that schools prepare ...

Patterns in Mathematics and Poetry is intended for readers who may never have taken Calculus or do not have all 101 Great American Poems committed to memory. What they must have is an interest in ...
