Voronoi Patterns

Improved Essays
Math has many significant aspects. However, it wasn’t until I was assigned this assignment, that I fully understood the wide variety mathematics encompasses. Math has a specific part called Geometry, it is this section that I am going to mainly focus on. Geometry consists of shapes. These many shapes can then be put together to form patterns. They are the Golden Ratio, Fractals, Spiral Growth, and Voronoi Patterns. The Golden Ratio consists of ratios which the two larger sums are equivalent to the ratio. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns which repeat endlessly. Spiral growth is shown in nature. Voronoi Patterns help architectures design. These different aspects of Geometry are often incorporated into our everyday lives. The Golden Ratio is also known as the Golden Rectangle which is believed to be the most visually pleasing form and appears in masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa and in other art and architecture for centuries. Around 1200 AD, mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci discovered the unique properties of the Fibonacci sequence. This sequence ties directly into the Golden ratio because if you take any two consecutive Fibonacci numbers, their ratio is very close to the Golden ratio. As the numbers increase, the closer the get to the golden ratio. As the numbers decrease, the farther the …show more content…
For example, packing. When someone needs to pack a box, they use strategic placement. This allows the box to be closed without the use of glue or tape. Voronoi Patterns were first discovered in 1644 and finally used in 1860. The Voronoi Patterns allowed scientists to pinpoint exactly where an infection had started in a town in the 1700’s. The Voronoi Patterns allow people to find the original cell. The different Voronoi Patterns show magnificent beauty. When reflected across a mirror it shows the same ripples and edges that were previously shown. Voronoi Patterns are often used on

    Flatland Can you imagine the world as a flat surface filled with a bunch of shapes? In Flatland Edwin Abbott describes the world as “a flat sheet of paper on which straight lines, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and other figures make up the space we live in today” (Abbott). This book can help teach students geometry in everyday life, and give good examples of things we would not think of as something we would learn in geometry. The book also gives us examples of how words can change their meanings thought the years, or stay the same.…

    Today, many adults view word problems as the least favorite aspect of math problems; however, that may all change in the future due to today’s students receiving thorough instruction on word problems through the use of teachers using the Common Core Initiative. In order for students to appreciate word problems they must first understand what the problem is asking them solve and they must also understand the information that the word problem has given them. The eight mathematical practices teach students to understand math problems and to analyze the problems. The first step in helping students with math is to show them how to think mathematically.…

    Personal Statement The university application process is really frustrating in every country, but, the question is if the university to which you apply is a qualified one. The country from where I come didn't manage to recreate an educational system that can provide appropriate studies, cognitive matter and qualified professors, which is why it can't produce a fruitful harvest of students. Furthermore, throughout the years Martin Luther University managed to produce a significant amount of qualified students, and its main objective is to outline the essentiality of education and to provide a genuine example of it. I do volunteering for three years for “REPEMOL” (Regionalization of the Pediatric Emergency and Care Services in Moldova).…

    Mathematical modeling is a process where the mathematical knowledge, the skills and strategies that students already know are used to investigate and solve real world situations. Mathematics modeling in PreK-8th grade starts out with a real world problem. The teacher no longer plays the role of teacher, but more so a facilitator, that guides the students into what tools and strategies they already know, that would help them solve the problem given. These problems or situations or tasks, are not just random textbook questions. “Teachers should launch mathematical modeling problems from questions that children naturally ask about science, social studies, literacy, art, physical education, or music, which may occur during classroom activities…

    My childhood memories regarding learning mathematics has been for the most part positive from 6th grade onwards. From 1st grade to 5th grade I was not conscientious so at times math tests produced anxiety but math was, at the same time, easier and simpler back then. I recall being the fastest person to state the multiplication tables in 4th grade. During 6th to 8th grade, although I was not necessarily the smartest, I landed at the top of the class in advance math since I was very hard working. However in 9th grade I recalled a horrific incident.…
