‘Patterns in Nature’ reveals the hidden mathematical order underlying the natural world. It explores recurring motifs like fractals, Fibonacci sequences, and symmetry in diverse phenomena, from seashells to galaxies.
Did you know that fractals demonstrate self-similarity, meaning complex shapes are built from simple, repeating patterns at different scales?
Or that the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, appears in plant structures and even spiral galaxies?
The book progresses by first introducing these core concepts with clear examples.
It then dedicates chapters to specific natural phenomena, such as fractals in landscapes and Fibonacci sequences in plant arrangements.
Symmetry is explored in the animal kingdom.
This approach makes complex ideas accessible, showing how mathematics is a fundamental language of nature, informing fields like biomimicry and ecological modeling.
