Yes nature is so amazing, and i remember the Fibonacci numbers which are incredibly describing nature. Nature is just there governed by a bigger law, and we just want to explain what we observed so we found mathematics. Eventually, math helped us with our future endeavors. Not many in the world strive to be just like other things within it, that is to be just BE, governed by the bigger LAW!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-91219415541949605302017-02-26T18:18:23.040+11:002017-02-26T18:18:23.040+11:00thanks, Peter, it's exciting to think we can a...thanks, Peter, it's exciting to think we can all be mathematicians!Sue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-7871715901614500682017-02-26T18:17:36.895+11:002017-02-26T18:17:36.895+11:00it's all so wonderful, and I am so enjoying be...it's all so wonderful, and I am so enjoying being back blogging about it.Sue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-34334913276445578612017-02-26T18:16:22.946+11:002017-02-26T18:16:22.946+11:00I've just learned about Fibonacci - it certain...I've just learned about Fibonacci - it certainly adds a layer to the fascination.Sue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-76307166804165662222017-02-26T18:15:36.090+11:002017-02-26T18:15:36.090+11:00Me too, Linda, there's something about ferns t...Me too, Linda, there's something about ferns that is very compelling.Sue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-49700843499351033192017-02-25T09:05:42.672+11:002017-02-25T09:05:42.672+11:00and the Fibonacci spirals that fascinate me again ...and the Fibonacci spirals that fascinate me again each time I see them.
