“Nature’s Numbers”
(Stewart)
After I read this chapter I understand more and deeply, why I leaved in this
universe, we can’t see nor understand everything, we just can’t think that
everything really has its own mathematics, the nature pattern. As years goes
by everything involves, everything develop the beauty of nature change but
that’s not result to the changes of its pattern, its own numeric explanation, it
quantitative reasoning, it will always gave everyone a beauty of its own
definition of mathematics. We maybe didn’t recognized the other visual of
nature through mathematics. But people us are always welling to learn, to
observe, and to see the bigger picture, it may be in the air, land, water, animals,
and so on, but there will always a pattern behind it.
I enjoy reading his book because it is informative and interesting, he provide
an example which he can justify. It is full of knowledge I realize that that
mathematics can also be a nature.
Stewarts writes in a marvelously clear style but, more importantly, he is
interesting. He sees the world in an interesting way in a mathematical way. And
manage to convey the wonder and strangeness powerful insight which seeing
the world in terms of patterns and shapes. Numbers and math give you. He
wants to help us see the world as a mathematician sees it, full of close and
information can lead us to deeper and deeper appreciation of the patterns and
harmonies all around us.
Many philosophers have wondered why. Is there a deep congruence between
the human mind and the structure of the universe? Did God make the universe
mathematically and implant and understanding of math in us? Is the universe
made of math?
Stewarts answer is simple and elegant: he thinks that natures exploits every
patterns that there is, which is why we keep discovering patterns anywhere.
We humans express these patterns numbers, but nature doesn’t use numbers.
He uses the patterns and shapes and possibilities which the numbers express
or define. But according to Johannes kepler. We wanted to tell us is that there
is so much beauty in natures clues. Mathematics is like telling us a story in
which it gives us the benefit to live an easier and innovative life.
To start with mathematics came up with the coverage and maintenance in
every field that is suitable for all of us. Many mathematical scientists and
academic math departments have justifiably focused on core areas, and this is
natural and the sense that no other community has a mandate to ensure that
the core areas remain strong and robust. But it is essential that there be an
easy flow of concepts, results, methods, and people across the
Mathematical science community actively and embraces the broad community
of researcher who contribute intellectually to the mathematical science,
including people who are professionally associated with another discipline.
Mathematics is universal in a sense that other fields of human through are not.
It finds useful applications in business, industry, music, historical scholarship,
politics, sports, medicine, agriculture engineering, mathematics and the other
fields of basic and applied science is specially strong. If we will look closely well
realized how mathematics contributes on all ages and across the world. We’ll
be able to apply math strategies to solve problems and develop and explain the
use of a given math concept in the global sense. And well be able to use the
right math tools in the situations, explain why a math model they choice is
relevant. More importantly, we will be able to use mathematical knowledge and
skills to make-real-life impact.
Last, but not the list, mathematics puts into actions and all the developed rules
and structures, alongside the understanding of nature, the mathematical
structures that underlie their situations to problems are contrasted with the
conventional activities that characterize school mathematics. Which means
that develops rules and structures are applicable whenever we try to formulate
and experiments engage ourselves in different situations and such. It serves
us great assistance and proven helpful for a future solution.
In “Nature’s Numbers”. Ian Stewart present many more, each charming in its
own way. He shows, for example, how the oscillation of fireflies follow the same
mathematical rules as the gaits horses. “Nature’s Numbers”, he says, are “The
deep mathematical regularities that can be detected in natural forms”.
