When scientists seek to understand the pattenrs of our world, they often turn to

mathematics. They use equations to quantify their observations and use mathematical
techniques to examine, hoping to gain a new discovery on the rhythms and
regularities of the universe

Fibonacci: Fibonacci sequence. Years later, this progression of numbers fascinates

many who have seen in it clues to everything. They appear a lot in patterns seen
in nature

The final answer will be mathematical, just another equation.

Pythagoras: explored the affinity between mathematics and music

Plato: Geometry and mathematics exists in their own ideal world, shaping the world
we see. It's an idea that mathematicians can relate to until this day. Belief that
they
are just uncovering something that is already there. Leans on discovered than
invented

Even w/o mathematical education, learning mathematical words and smbols, we would
still have a primitive number sense. The building blocks of mathematics may be
pre programmed in our brain, part of the basic tool kit for survival.

Aristotle: Heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones. The rate at things would
fall is proportional to their weight.
For being so reasonable, this view was held for 2000 years

Gallileo Galilei: Challenged the view of aristotle. Air resistance played a factor.

If you take air out of the equation, everything falls at the same rate
Apollo 1975 test proved when hammer and heather was dropped at the same time
An object dropped at one height didn't take long enough when dropped twice as high.
It accelerated.
Mathematical relationship between time and distance. Falling objects follow
mathematical laws. Distance that ball travelled is directly proportional
to the square of time
"The universe is written in the language of mathematics"

Isaac Newton:
"Principia". Nweton travelled around the world to observe certain phenomena and
explain how each of them happen through mathematics
The force that would send hurdling objects back to earth: gravity. He described it
precisely in a simple equation that explains how two masses attract each other
A single mathematical law that governed the whole universe. Through the telescope
it could be seen in the distant galaxies that mathematical laws still applies
How is mathematics, a product of human thought does so well in explaining how
everything works
"A gift we neither understand nor deserve"

James maxwell: Set of equations explaining how electricity and magnetism were
related. How each could generate the other. Together, they coud produce waves of
energy that travels through space at the speed of light. Electromagnetic Waves.
Modern technology that utilizes waves in order to communicate from one medium to
another, and no one knew how they existed.

Guillermo Marconni
Tested existence of electromagnetic wave. Built an antenna to amplify the waves.
Signal transmitted over a mile away. Sent radio signals across the atlantic
Responsible for saving many during titanic because his equipment allowed distress
signals to be sent
Thanks to maxwell's prediction, marconni could harness a hidden part in our world
that would usher in an era of wireless communication

Peter Higgs: Higgs particle. One of the greatest predictions ever made

Is mathematics a truth of nature or does it have something to do with the way we as

humas perceive nature?
Mathematics seem to be an inherent part of nature.
Which is mathematics? A discovered part of the universe? Or a human invention? Or
both?
It is an intricate combination of inventions and discoveries
It feels like it's already there, and yet it feels like it comes from our deep
creative nature as human beings
It remains the great math mystery
