TED-ED - Term 2 Week 5

Is math discovered or invented? - Jeff Dekofsky

1. The Fibonacci sequence is perhaps best known from its appearance in the novel and movie "The Da Vinci Code." What are some of the real world applications of this famous sequence?

2. Name at least one mathematical idea or principle that you feel is a universal truth. Support your choice.

3. What special name did the Pythagoreans give to the number 1, the source of all creation?
