In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries. Rene L.Duhilag Jr., BS Math Lecture 01 - Patterns and Numbers in Nature and the World 8 / 15 Examples of Patterns in Nature A fracture or crack is the separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress. The fracture of a solid usually occurs due to the development of certain ______ within the solid.

Rene L.Duhilag Jr., BS Math Lecture 01 - Patterns and Numbers in Nature and the World 9 / 15 Examples of Patterns in Nature Stripes are made by a series of bands or strips, often of the same width and color along the length. Rene L.Duhilag Jr., BS Math Lecture 01 - Patterns and Numbers in Nature and the World 10 / 15 Examples of Patterns in Nature A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. For instance: trees, rivers, coastlines, mountains, clouds, seashells, hurricanes, etc. Rene L.Duhilag Jr., BS Math Lecture 01 - Patterns and Numbers in Nature and the World 11 / 15 Evaluation On your way home, or way to school, or anywhere, look around and spot one thing in which you can see a pattern. Take a picture, post it in your Facebook account, with your full name, course, year, and section, and with a short caption. Rene L. Look around and spot one thing in which you can see a ______.
