Tromba, Anthony J., Hildebrandt, Stefan

SUMMARY

Why are eggs egg-shaped and fish fish-shaped? Why are the planets and stars spheres rather than squares or pyramids? What would we uncover if we subjected nature's design schemes to mathematical scrutiny? The variety of sizes, shapes, and irregularities in nature is endless. Skillfully integrating text and full-color illustrations, The Parsimonious Universe describes the efforts of scientists and mathematicians since the Renaissance to identify and describe the basic laws underlying the shape of natural forms.Tromba, Anthony J. is the author of 'Parsimonious Universe Shape and Form in the Natural World' with ISBN 9780387979915 and ISBN 0387979913.
