  2. Patterns in nature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_in_nature

    Patterns in nature are visible regularities of form found in the natural world. These patterns recur in different contexts and can sometimes be modelled mathematically . Natural patterns include symmetries , trees , spirals , meanders , waves , foams , tessellations , cracks and stripes. [ 1 ]

  3. Fractal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

    The recursive nature of some patterns is obvious in certain examples—a branch from a tree or a frond from a fern is a miniature replica of the whole: not identical, but similar in nature. Similarly, random fractals have been used to describe/create many highly irregular real-world objects, such as coastlines and mountains.

  4. Patterned ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterned_ground

    Patterned ground is the distinct and often symmetrical natural pattern of geometric shapes formed by the deformation of ground material in periglacial regions. It is typically found in remote regions of the Arctic , Antarctica , and the Outback in Australia , but is also found anywhere that freezing and thawing of soil alternate; patterned ...

  5. Logarithmic spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_spiral

    In these cases, the reason may be construction from expanding similar shapes, as is the case for polygonal figures. Logarithmic spiral beaches can form as the result of wave refraction and diffraction by the coast. Half Moon Bay (California) is an example of such a type of beach. [15]

  6. List of mathematical shapes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_shapes

    For example, in a polyhedron (3-dimensional polytope), a face is a facet, an edge is a ridge, and a vertex is a peak. Vertex figure: not itself an element of a polytope, but a diagram showing how the elements meet.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_shapes

    Lists of shapes cover different types of geometric shape and related topics. They include mathematics topics and other lists of shapes, such as shapes used by drawing or teaching tools. They include mathematics topics and other lists of shapes, such as shapes used by drawing or teaching tools.

  8. Gömböc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gömböc

    For example, the first solution of Domokos and Várkonyi closely resembled a sphere, with a shape deviation of only 10 −5. It was dismissed as it was tough to test experimentally. [ 8 ] The first physically produced example is less sensitive; yet it has a shape tolerance of 10 −3 , that is 0.1 mm for a 10 cm size.

  9. Scutoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutoid

    A scutoid is a particular type of geometric solid between two parallel surfaces. The boundary of each of the surfaces (and of all the other parallel surfaces between them) either is a polygon or resembles a polygon, but is not necessarily planar, and the vertices of the two end polygons are joined by either a curve or a Y-shaped connection on ...
