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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Patterns were mostly left out of the common-core math standards in the early grades (kindergarten and 1st grade) due to a lack of evidence that they helped children understand later math concepts.

We spoke with Bethany Rittle-Johnson, an early-math researcher, at length about what math should look like for preschool students.

University at Buffalo study characterizes two-dimensional wave patterns such as undular bores that move along two directions.   ...
