Dynamically, patterns are either stationary or time-periodic (spatio-temporal).  In this survey lecture I will describe some patterns that occur in fluids, physics, and biology and relate the patterns to equivariant bifurcation theory. The relevant bifurcation theory leads to menus of expected pattern types - each menu is driven by an irreducible representation (over the reals) of an appropriate symmetry group.
