Publisher's Synopsis
Maths in Nature Many things in nature follow the rules of maths: number patterns in a sunflower, the hexagonal shapes in a beehive and a snow crystal, and the spirals in Romanesco broccoli. Now find out why they re made or grow like that. Some of the rules are so important they have a scientific name, such as the Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio nature really does have it all figured out! IT S A MATHEMATICAL WORLD shows exactly that: maths underlies everything around us on Earth and way out in space. The four books present familiar things and explain the maths behind them, perhaps a pattern, sequence or shape. Clear, simple text works with stunning photographs to make maths fun and approachable. There are activities to try, too!
