Fibonacci poem

Aesthetic of mathematics


Read,

Link,

Words flow,

Ideas wing,

Questions dance, translating worlds,

Math and metaph or in unity, bridging thoughts to infinity.

WEEK 1 : Reflections  The article I have read is     Nathan, M. (2021) Excerpt from Foundations of Embodied Learning pp. 3-7 and 147-151. Briefly summary: What I have reading can be divided into 2 parts: 1.         The first part is about the way of learning: embodied learning is a natural human activity, and it is possible to design for it in ways that can inform educational practices and policies in order to usher in a new era of educating the embodied mind.  And it set up 2 examples:  ⑴ students actually have very good intuitions about how to think about unknown quantities and generalized relationships between quantities prior to formal instructions.  ⑵  society  does not value embodied forms of knowing; educators seldom encourage students to engage in any of physical activities to get understanding of subjects. 2.         The second part is about grounding metaphor used in mathematics education. It mentioned 3 examples (numbers and operations, algebraic equations, geometry) of mat

  WEEK 2: Kepler explores the geometric and physical principles underlying the formation of snowflakes and other natural phenomena. He draws parallels between the hexagonal patterns found in snowflakes, honeycombs, and pomegranate seeds, suggesting these shapes are efficient solutions to packing problems in nature. Kepler ponders the philosophical implications of these natural patterns, reflecting on the inherent mathematical intelligence within nature's design. He considered the material necessity and the innate tendencies of natural bodies to assume particular forms that optimize space and function. Kepler integrated geometry, physics, and philosophy to understand the principles that govern the natural world. STOP 1： " For a thing has a shape of its own when it is bounded by itself, since boundaries determine shapes. "(p.37) This quote resonates with the concept that the identity of an object, concept, or entity is largely framed by where it ends—where the line is dr

This classification not only demonstrates geometric and topological rigor but also incorporates aesthetic considerations of symmetry. By using mathematical principles to create visual art, this approach challenges traditional views of mathematics and expands the boundaries of artistic expression. It proves that mathematics is not just a tool for solving problems but also a means to explore and express beauty. During the drawing process, because it can be completed in one stroke, finishing an image feels very rewarding. However, my strokes are not as precise as a painter's, so my squares may not look uniformly sized. But I think that's okay, because this variation is an art form in itself, haha.
