Study Notes
Greek Philosophers and Patterns in Nature
- Greek philosophers studied patterns to explain order in nature, including growth patterns in plants and animals.
- They found that simple equations could explain spiral growth patterns.
Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation
- Predictions were made about mechanisms of morphogenesis, including patterns of spots and stripes.
The Work of a Belgian Physicist
- A Belgian physicist studied soap films, leading to the concept of minimal surface.
Geometry and Marine Organisms
- Paintings of marine organisms were used to emphasize geometric patterns.
Adopted Patterns
- Eight patterns were adopted: scattered, fractured, mosaic, spiral, naturalistic drift, radial, dendritic, and serpentine.
Fractals and Plant Growth
- The mathematics of fractals can create plant growth patterns.
The Spread of Hindu-Arabic Numerals
- The spread of Hindu-Arabic numerals (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8…), also known as Fibonacci numbers, was facilitated.
Plane Mirror
- A plane mirror produces an image the same size as the object, appearing to be behind the mirror.
Types of Patterns
- Patterns can be visible and consist of contexts, spirals, symmetries, mosaics, stripes, spots, and more.
