�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Until the middle of this century, it was completely unclear whether life had any inorganic structure. The discovery of the first secret of life, the molecular structure of DNA, solved that particular riddle. But some secrets lie deeper than genetic code. It is the mathematical laws of physics and mathematics that control the growing organism's reponse to its genetic instructions. Life is a partnership between genes and mathematics. In this book, Ian Stewart presents a fascinating account of life's other secret: nature's mathematics, as exhibited in the spiralling geometry of a sea shell or the symmetry in the seed head of a sunflower.
