NATURE’S NUMBERS BY IAN STEWART CHAPTER 1 THE NATURAL ORDER Group Members: DENISE C. CAMPILLANOS BENJARDLYN B. PAALA JAYVE DIOSO OCAMPO JULIE MAE CAABAY  We live in a universe of patterns.

Once we have learned to the simplest of nature’s patterns are numerical. recognize a background pattern, exceptions suddenly stand out.

A very curious pattern indeed occurs in the petals of flowers. Number of petals occur in strange sequence 3, 5, 8, 13 21, 34,55, 89. There is a definite pattern to those numbers: Each Clouds Weather number is obtained by adding the previous two numbers together. * Things that look simple from outside often look much more complicated from inside.  Easiest and Numerical Pattern of key to Numerology consequently the The significant Verdict of posterity, theory of gravity by observation of the calculation of most dangerous Numerology. squares and cubes.
