INTRODUCTION TO RECOGNITION AND DECIPHERING OF PATTERNS IBD

Sinopse

Introduction to Recognition and Deciphering of Patterns is meant to acquaint STEM and non-STEM students with different patterns, as well as to where and when specific patterns arise. In addition, the book teaches students how to recognize patterns and distinguish the similarities and differences between them.Patterns, such as weather patterns, traffic patterns, behavioral patterns, geometric patterns, linguistic patterns, structural patterns, digital patterns, and the like, emerge on an everyday basis, . Recognizing patterns and studying their unique traitsáare essential for the development and enhancement of our intuitive skills andáfor strengthening our analytical skills. Mathematicians often apply patterns to get acquainted with new concepts--a technique that can be applied across many disciplines.Throughout this book weáexplore assorted patterns that emerge from various geometrical configurations of squares, circles, right triangles, and equilateral triangles that either repeat at the same scale or at different scales. The book also analytically examines linear patterns, geometric patterns, alternating patterns, piecewise patterns, summation-type patterns and factorial-type patterns. Deciphering the details of these distinct patternsáleads to the proof by induction method, and the book will also render properties of PascalâÇÖs triangle and provide supplemental practice in deciphering specific patterns and verifying them.This book concludesáwith first-order recursive relations: describing sequences as recursive relations, obtaining the general solution by solving an initial value problem, and determining the periodic traits.FeaturesâÇó Readily accessible to a broad audience, including those withálimited mathematical backgroundâÇó Especially useful for students in non-STEM disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, economics and business,áas well as foráliberal arts disciplines and art students.
