Where is Math?
- It is everywhere.
What it is for?
- To help us unravel the puzzle of
nature, a useful way to think about
nature.
- Organize patterns and regularities as
well as irregularities.
- To help us control weather and
epidemics
- Provides new questions to think
about.
How is mathematics done?
- With Curiosity
- With eagerness for seeking patterns

rectangles of relative side lengths
- With trial and error
- Without fear of facing more questions equaling Fibonacci numbers.

Vitruvian Man
- This illustrates that the human body is
proportioned according to the golden
ratio.
- Leonardo Da Vinci has long been
associated with the golden ratio.
- An American researcher, Jay
Hambridge, established that the

FUNCTIONS
- A function f is a special type of a relation
such that no two ordered pairs of the
set have different second coordinates
corresponding to the same first
coordinate.
- The set of all the first coordinates of the
ordered pair is the domain of the
function.
