How pretty math is

When you ask me to write about the beauty in math, I immediately think of flowers. The way that the seeds are arranged in aster family flowers (thank you Bio-E) are the perfect example example of the Fibonacci sequence. (The previous 2 numbers add to the next: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...)

Sunflowers seeds form a shell like shape. Shells are also is the Fibonacci sequence category. I think that is cool that Nature has planned out these sequences before Fibonacci even thought about his sequence.

Ideas for math do not just pop into your head. They are a continuation of people's ideas on the same subject who lived before you. And what people didn't think up before you, you base on nature. Once you learn about something cool, you want to know more. Math is like a mystery novel: you find out something a key clue and you immediately want to read more. Even if you don't like math, you want to advance so your thirst for more increases. In today's world more isn't always better. More grease. More technology. More shootings. More problems. Those aren't good, but a love and thirst for more knowledge. Math is easier than other subjects to want more. In English or a foreign language, there is a limit to what you can read and still be interested in. In math there is a want for more and more and more until you can't have more, then you repeat your thirst in your kids because you want them to appreciate the vast amount of knowledge that math has. That is what I think makes math beautiful: generation to generation of love, knowledge and appreciation for more. An appreciation for math.
