Mathematics Is Indispensable

Mathematics helps organize patterns and regulations in the world in the following ways: 1) Many natural phenomena exhibit mathematical patterns, such as the Fibonacci sequence found in flower petals and seed heads. 2) The structures of things like spider webs, snail shells, and bee hives follow geometric rules and patterns. 3) Even seemingly random processes like lotteries and Google searches are actually governed by mathematical algorithms and probabilities. 4) Mathematical patterns are found throughout nature, from the spiral of shells to the arrangement of seeds, demonstrating that math describes real-world phenomena.

Mathematics is indispensable, for it helps enhance our problem-solving skills which we need to

deal with for our daily living. It helps us think analytically and have better reasoning abilities.
Reasoning is our ability to think logically about a specific situation. Analytical and reasoning
skills are essential because they help us solve our problems and look for the best solutions.
Math is absolutely necessary in our lives and we use mathematical concepts without realizing it,
as well as the skills we learn from doing math problems every day.

III.

Write a two to three-page synthesis paper focusing on one of the following aspects of
Mathematics: a) Mathematics helps organize patterns and regulations in the world. b)
Mathematics helps predict the behavior of nature and phenomena in the world. c) Mathematics
helps control nature and occurrences in the world for our own ends.

MATHEMATICS HELPS ORGANIZE PATTERNS AND REGULATIONS IN THE WORLD Math


is everywhere. Whether you like mathematics or not, math is all around wherever we are. Math
is visible in almost everything in this world, whether living or non-living things. Each patterned
object is precisely placed by the artist into a static display. However, some patterns and
placement of design in nature do not come from an artist's hand or human made but from the
connected and dynamic interactions of natural objects in both space and time. Everything in the
world can be presented in terms of math. Math is indeed the language of nature.

There are countless examples of mathematical patterns in the world. It can be found in nature's
fabric which snails make their shells, spiders design their webs, and bees build hexagonal
combs. Nature is full of patterns, such as the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers in which
each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. For instance, Fibonacci numbers are
found in almost any flowers. Sunflowers have the seeds in perfect Fibonacci order. From one
seed and the two seeds, three seeds, six seeds, twelve seeds, twenty four seeds and so on in
the flowers. If You take the number of petals in a flower, they all follow a mathemathical order.

According to Tegmark, who loves mathematics, "There's an elegant simplicity and beauty in
nature revealed by mathematical patterns and shapes, which our minds have been able to
figure out." The mathematical structure found in the natural world shows that math exists in
reality, not just in the human mind. That explains about a river flowing through a landscape, it
has Pi in it. As well as big pyramids have Pi. The Egyptians didn't know Pi at first, but later on
they learned from experience from building it. The non living world also behaves in a
mathematical way. Lottery is pure math. If You scratch the numbers and win excactly what you
just spent, most of us don't count our losses and all what we are thinking was we were lucky
getting a new lottery ticket because it's free. Google on the hand is pure math. The search
engine is based on an algorithm. That's why companies buys data. That's what we called
business and they want to be even more precise to persuade everyone through targeting us

with adds. They can predict what your income and intersts are based from your search patterns
even down to the user's temper and personality.

All the stated examples are incredible how the use of math is shown in nature. We live in a
world where the beauty of math is beyond everything we see, an object or a structure and
whatever this world is made up of. It helps us understand the wolrd where we are living in
better. Maybe that's the fascinating thing about math. Everything in the universe is made of
math including us, as a human being. We humans have discovered a lot of additional recurring
shapes and patterns in nature, wherever our pair of eyes land at something, we can see the
visibility of mathematical patterns.
