MATHEMATICS IN MODERN WORLD
MEANDER
A meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a river, stream, or other watercourses. It is produced by a stream or river swinging from side to side as it flows across its floodplain or shifts its channel within a valley.
FRACTAL
a curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. Fractals are useful in modeling structures (such as eroded coastlines or snowflakes) in which similar patterns recur at progressively smaller scales, and in describing partly random or chaotic phenomena such as crystal growth, fluid turbulence, and galaxy formation.
STRIPES
stripes are commonly seen in nature, food, emblems, clothing, and elsewhere. Two-toned stripes inherently draw one's attention, and as such are used to signal hazards. They are used in road signs, barricade tape, and thresholds.
CRACK
the fracture surfaces of materials. Cracking pattern(painting), the fine pattern of dense cracking formed on the surface of paintings.
FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
The Fibonacci sequence is one of the most famous formulas in mathematics.
SYMMETRY
symmetry (a kind of rotational symmetry) means that a cone or disk shape is symmetrical around a central axis. Starfish, sea anemones, jellyfish, and some flowers have radial symmetry
SPIRAL
The Spiral is a sacred symbol that represents the journey and change of life as it unfolds; taking a labyrinth-like passage that leads to Source. The spiralsymbol can represent the consciousness of nature beginning from its center expanding outwardly.
WAVE
A pattern of behavior marked by noticeable increases and decreases. Waves can be identified in stock price movements and in consumer behavior. Investors trying to profit from a market trend could be described as "riding a wave."
FOAM
A foam is a substance made by trapping air or gas bubbles inside a solid or liquid. Typically, the volume of gas is much larger than that of the liquid or solid, with thin films separating gas pockets.
TESSELATION
A tessellation of a flat surface is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries.
