Study Notes
Patterns in Nature
- Patterns are repeated shapes like polygons and circles.
- Tessellations cover a plane by repeating polygons.
- Tessellations can be regular (one polygon repeated) or semi-regular (two or more polygons repeated).
- Fractals are never-ending patterns created by continuously repeating a process.
- Examples of fractals include the Sierpinski Triangle, Pascal's Triangle, Fractal Tree, and Koch Snowflake.
### Word Patterns
- Can be found in poetry meters and rhythms.
- Examples include:
- Plural of nouns
- Past tense of verbs
- Analogies
- Rhyme schemes
### Logical Patterns
- Involve logic reasoning and pattern observing.
- Are identified by:
- Rotating shapes.
- Increasing or decreasing numbers of shapes.
- Alternating patterns, colors, shapes.
- Mirror images.
### Number Patterns
- Follow a specific sequence or order.
- Examples include:
- Arithmetic sequences, where the difference between consecutive terms is constant.
- Geometric sequences, where each subsequent term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant.
- Triangular numbers.
- Cube numbers.
- Fibonacci numbers.
The Fibonacci Sequence
- Popularized by Leonardo Pisano, also known as Fibonacci.
- Sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21...
- Found in nature:
- Number of petals in flowers
- Number of sections in fruits
- Nautilus shell
- Hurricanes and tornadoes
- Arrangement of sunflower seeds
- Human body
### The Golden Ratio
- Denoted by the Greek letter phi (Ф/φ).
- Named after sculptor Phidias.
- Approximately 1.618033...
- Also known as the Divine Ratio or Divine Proportion.
- Found in:
- Golden Spiral
- Golden Rectangle
- Proportion of the human body
The Language of Mathematics
- Mathematical symbols represent values, operations, groupings, and special relationships.
- Symbols used in mathematics:
- Operations: +, -, ×, /
- Stand-in for Values: a, b, c...
- Special Symbols: =, ..., Σ, ∃, ∀, ∞
- Grouping: ( ), { }, [ ]
- Letter Conventions:
- Lowercase letters for variables.
- Uppercase letters for sets and formulas.
Sets
- An organized collection of objects.
- Ways of describing sets:
- Set builder notation: {x | x > -2}
- Roster notation: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
- Types of sets:
- Finite: A set with a specific number of elements.
- Infinite: A set with an unlimited number of elements.
- Empty: A set that contains no objects.
- Unit/Singleton: A set with only one element.
- Equal: Two sets containing the same elements.
- Equivalent: Sets with the same number of elements (same cardinality).
- Disjoint/Non-Intersection: Sets with no common elements.
### Operations on Sets
- Union: The set containing all elements from both sets.
- Intersection: The set containing all common elements between sets.
- Combination: A collection of objects from a set, order doesn't matter.
- Cross Product: The set of all possible ordered pairs from two sets.
### Subsets, Supersets, and Power Sets
- Subset: Every element in set A is also in set B.
- Proper Subset: Every element in A is in B, but there is at least one element in B that is not in A.
- Superset: If A is a subset of B, then B is a superset of A.
- Power Set: The set of all subsets of a set A, denoted as P(A).
### The Set of Real Numbers
- Natural numbers (ℕ): Counting numbers.
- Integers (ℤ): Natural numbers, negative numbers, and zero.
- Rational numbers (ℚ): Numbers that can be represented as a fraction a/b where b is not equal to 0.
- Irrational numbers (ℚ'): Numbers that cannot be represented as fractions.
- Real numbers (ℝ): All rational and irrational numbers.
### The Universal Set
- Contains all possible elements under consideration.
- The union of all sets in a universal set is equal to the universal set.
- The complement of a set is the set of all elements in the universal set that are not in the set.
