The beauty of numbers in nature : mathematical patterns and principles from the natural world / by Stewart, Ian,1945-author.(CARDINAL)334292;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 218-219) and index.Part One : Principles & patterns. The puzzle ; Nature's patterns ; What is a pattern? -- Part Two : The mathematical world. One dimension ; Mirror symmetry ; Rotational symmetry ; Tiling patterns ; Spots & stripes ; Three dimensions ; Scale & spirals ; Time -- Part Three : Simplicity & complexity. Complexity & catastrophe ; Fractal geometry ; Order in chaos ; Laws of nature ; The answer."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." ; Publisher's description

Director of photography, Edward Colman ; editor, Lloyd L. Richardson ; music, Buddy Baker ; animation, Jerry Hathcock ... [et al.].No credits on packaging.Animated. Donald Duck gets a lesson in math appreciation when he is shown the relevance of math in everyday life. Donald wanders into a mysterious land filled with numbers, shapes, and peculiar symbols. "The Spirit of Adventure" (narrator) informs the skeptical duck that he is about to embark on a journey through the wonderland of mathematics. Donald is whisked back to ancient Greece to meet Pythagoras, the father of math and music. After eavesdropping on a secret meeting of Pythagoreans and turning their serene musical trio into a riotous quartet, Donald continues on his journey. He takes on numerous roles, including art critic, nature observer, billiards player, baseball player, and even Lewis Carroll's Alice. Through his adventures in Mathmagic Land, Donald comes to appreciate how measurements, calculations, shapes, and ratios contribute to music, architecture and art, nature, games, and inventions of all kinds, as well as the role of math in the future.Grade level: 4-12.DVD.
