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: the Pythagoreans'
