Study Notes
Mathematics: A Study Of Patterns
- Mathematics is a branch of science focusing on numbers and their operations, encompassing calculation, computation, and problem-solving.
- Mathematics assists in organizing and systematizing ideas about patterns.
Patterns in Nature
- A pattern is an arrangement that helps to anticipate future occurrences or observations.
- Patterns are found in both natural and human-made objects.
Symmetry
- Symmetry occurs when there is congruence in dimensions, proportions, and arrangement.
- Reflection or Bilateral Symmetry is the simplest and most common type of symmetry, often referred to as "mirror symmetry."
- Radial/Rotational Symmetry occurs when an object can be rotated at any degree and maintain the same appearance.
Classifications of Symmetric Patterns
-
Rosette Patterns: Repeat in no direction, displaying rotation and/or reflection symmetry.
- Cyclic patterns only exhibit rotational symmetry.
- Dihedral patterns exhibit both rotational and reflectional symmetry.
-
Frieze Patterns: Repeat in exactly one direction, extending left and right. They can be mapped onto themselves by a horizontal translation.
- Hop: Translation symmetry only.
- Sidle: Translation and vertical reflection symmetry.
- Spinning Hop: Translation and 180° rotation symmetry.
- Spinning Siddle: Translation, vertical reflection, rotation, and glide reflection symmetries.
- Jump: Translation, horizontal reflection, and glide reflection symmetries.
- Spinning Jump: Translation, vertical, and horizontal reflections, rotation, and glide reflection symmetries.
- Step: Translation and glide reflection symmetries.
Wallpaper Patterns
- Wallpaper patterns repeat in more than one direction, exhibiting translation symmetry.
- They combine reflection, rotation, and glide reflection.
- To be considered a wallpaper pattern, a plane figure must have at least two rows of units, with each row containing at least two units.
Tessellation or Tiling
- A repeating pattern of shapes that covers a surface without gaps or overlaps.
- Similar to wallpaper groups, tessellations create patterns by repeating a shape to fill the plane.
