From rainbows, river meanders, and shadows to spider webs, honeycombs, and
the markings on animal coats, the visible world is full of patterns that
can be described mathematically.
Examining
such readily observable phenomena, this book introduces readers
to the beauty of nature as revealed by mathematics and the beauty
of mathematics as revealed in nature.
