Math+Terms

==Hey everybody just to let you know, this page is a page for math terms that you absolutely //cannot// bear to keep to yourself. Every math-related term is welcome. Type four (~) next to your name so we know who has helped contribute to this page. You could even add something that nobody will know if you're in advanced math, Thanks!1238115512==


 * **Cube root** : A number which, when multiplied by three, gets you the number you were finding the same root of. Ex. Cube root of 27=3. Cube root of 1000=10. Cube root of 1928=12. Cube root of 125=5 (think cubed; the third dimension or the third power, it is the same as a square root except you multiply the number by itself twice instead of once). 3*3*3 is 27, therefore 3 is the cube root of 27. 1238115512

The first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each remaining number is the sum of the previous two: Fibonacci sequences can be found in nature, such as in the way branches form on trees, leaves are arranged on a stem, pineapple fruitlets grow, an artichoke is layered, the shape of a fern as it uncurls, and the arrangement of a pine cone. In addition, it is said that Fibonacci numbers or [|golden sections] in nature are found to occur in the breeding of rabbits, the spirals of shells, and the curve of waves. The Fibonacci numbers also appear in the family tree of honeybees. 1238722085 Psst! Who knew that? I have for about 2 years now!1238803826 Psst! That's why we call you the Professor! ;) I wonder if any one else even looks at this page besides you and me?! 1238805601 Psst! I don't think so. 1240275413
 * **Conjecture **: A prediction that suggests what can be expected to happen. You can use the terms you know to make a //conjecture// about how a pattern will continue. Ex: You could make a //conjecture// using the number pattern below. It is called a **Fibonacci Sequence **:[[image:Spiral_-_fern.jpg width="131" height="200" align="right" caption="The stem and leaves of a fern uncurling"]]
