Book Summary
From a zebra's stripes to a spider's web, from sand dunes to snowflakes, nature
is full of patterns underlaid by mathematical principles. In The Beauty of
Numbers in Nature, Ian Stewart shows how life forms from the principles of
mathematics. Each chapter in The Beauty of Numbers in Nature explores a
different kind of patterning system and its mathematical underpinnings. In doing
do, the book also uncovers some universal patterns -- both in nature and made by
humans -- from the basic geometry of ancient Greece to the complexities of
fractals.
Stewart draws on a wide range of sources to examine the mathematics of patterns:
