Mathematics from the visual world [videorecording] / by Starbird, Michael P.; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Bibliographic references included in course guidebook.Lectures by Michael Starbird.Presents lectures (each 30 minutes in length) by Michael Starbird, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin. Presents a collection of topics that reveal the rich, wondrous structure of what we see around us. Patterns in nature are the source of our geometrical understanding of the world. Abstracting those patterns leads to concepts from classical geometry. Extensions of those and other ideas of form have created a landscape of mathematical ideas, including Euclidean geometry, non-Euclidean geometries, symmetry groups, and graph theory.Not rated.DVD.

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
