    This document contains an activity worksheet for a Mathematics in the Modern World course. The first section asks students to identify examples of reflection and radial symmetry found in nature, as well as which letters of the alphabet look the same after being rotated 90 or 180 degrees. The second section contains problems involving the Fibonacci sequence, including listing the first 20 numbers, using the recursive formula to find subsequent terms, and using Binet's formula to calculate specific terms. The third section asks students to discuss applications of mathematics in their chosen field of study and document patterns found in nature by taking photos during a neighborhood walk.

    1. Give five examples each of nature having reflection symmetry and radial symmetry.
    2. Which upper case letters of the English alphabet look the same after being rotated 90°? 180°?

    II. Fibonacci Sequence


    1. Enumerate the first twenty Fibonacci numbers.
    2. Use F12 = 144 and F13= 233 to find the value of F14. Using Recursive Formula
    3. Use F40 = 63,245,986 and F38 = 39,088,169 to find the value of F39. Show your reasoning.

    2. Look for patterns Inside or outside of your house then take pictures of the patterns explored using
    smart phones or digital camera. Explore, take photos, make list and identify what patterns can be
    seen in nature inside your house, at the garden or park nearby or any part of the neighborhood.
    Showcase your creativity by making an original paintings or pictures, poster or photo collage of

    The mathematical way of thinking has a fundamental relevance. In summary,
    mathematics enables scientists and engineers to produce systematic, reproducible, and
    transmittable knowledge when applied to technology. The application of mathematics in
    my chosen field of study, Civil Engineering, is that civil engineers commonly employ
    algebra, and they work exclusively with differential equations in engineering
    mathematics, statistics, and calculus. Through mathematical equations, civil engineers
    investigate the chemistry of materials. To determine the appropriate material for a project,
    engineers measure the material’s strength and utilize chemical equations to determine
    the material’s strength. The structure is surveyed using mathematical trigonometry, which
    takes ground elevation and the structure’s numerous angles into account. Physics has a
    significant role on the work of a civil engineer. To verify that the building being built
    performs properly, physics equations are used to all parts of the problem. When a bridge
    is designed, physics is used to determine the size of the supporting piers, the thickness of
    the steel columns, and the number of the columns required. Numerous physics issues
    need the use of algebra, calculus, and trigonometry. Each project’s planning phase
    requires the use of core mathematical abilities such as accounting and statistics.
    Calculating a project’s financial components is critical aspect of a civil engineer’s job, as
    they must ascertain the project’s cost to investors.
