The New Math of Wrinkling Patterns A comprehensive mathematical framework treats these crinkles as elegant solutions to geometric problems.

Science of patterns Mathematics is often described as the science of finding patterns, which appear throughout nature, in everything from ripples of pond water to the orbits of the planets. The ...

In Mysterious Pattern, Math and Nature Converge All complex correlated systems, from Arctic melt ponds to the internet, appear to be governed by the same math as a random matrix. Photo: Marco de ...

Why do humans love to look at patterns? I can only guess, but I’ve written a whole book about new mathematical ways to make them. In Creating Symmetry, The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper ...

Patterns are simple sequences that repeat over and over again in a certain order. Supporting children’s ability to recognize patterns can improve mathematical skills.

A UB study characterizes two-dimensional wave patterns, such as the undular bores seen in a Chinese river, that move along ...

Author provided The mathematics behind how such never-repeating patterns are created is very useful in understanding how they are formed and even in designing them with specific properties. That is ...

Pattern formation in physical, biological, and sociological systems has been studied for many years. One area where it has been of growing interest is in crime modeling.
