Patterns
by Julian F. Fleron
Summary
Discovering the Art of Mathematics: Patterns is an open-source, inquiry-based learning guide designed to help liberal arts students explore mathematics as the ultimate study of structure and design. Rather than relying on traditional rote memorization or heavy algebraic manipulation, authors Julian F. Fleron and Philip K. Hotchkiss invite readers to act as "explorers," uncovering the mathematical frameworks hidden within beautiful Islamic art, the mechanics of Spirographs, and the linguistic history of naming impossibly large numbers like a "millinillitrillion."
By guiding students through hands-on investigations of geometric stars, discrete calculus, and classic counting riddles, the text transforms math into an accessible, creative playground that fosters problem-solving intuition and deepens appreciation for how order shapes the world around us.
