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 ...

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.

Early pattern knowledge was found to be important for building later knowledge across a variety of mathematics topics, including number, algebra and geometry.

A UB study characterizes two-dimensional wave patterns, such as the undular bores seen in a Chinese river, that move along ...

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

In Creating Symmetry, The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper Patterns, I include a comprehensive set of recipes for turning photographs into patterns.
