Abstract

Mathematics is the study of patterns - in numbers and in geometry, more commonly - but also in the most unexpected places. Patterns are beautiful and catch our attention. All of us notice them either in our surroundings, in clothes, in constructions, and so on. How do we describe these repetitive patterns? Some are visual patterns which share some common characteristics. Some of these are number patterns with sequences based on addition or subtraction. Some patterns are based on multiplication and division. If we know the first few numbers, we are able to predict the next number or other numbers in the sequence.
