Math Leaf arrangements in plants have a huge and distinguished accumulation of literature in regards to mathematics. Early approaches have been purely descriptive - they do not explain how the numbers relate to the plant growth. They sort out the geometry of arrangements, but nothing more. Thanks to the work of French mathematical physicists Stephane Douady and Yves Couder, we now have a theory of dynamic plant growth in computer models via laboratory experiments to show that the Fibonacci pattern is indeed essential to the biological and descriptive essence of growth in plants. What is essential to your biological and descriptive essence? - posted by -g @ 5:23 PM | | 0 rocks in pond 0 Comments: |
