Patterns and Sequences in Mathematics

The video tutorial explores the concept of patterns, both in the natural world and in mathematics. It introduces various mathematical patterns, such as Fibonacci sequences, triangular numbers, and square numbers. The tutorial also discusses non-mathematical patterns and provides problem-solving examples involving patterns, like calculating distances and generating numeric patterns.
