Patterns in nature
Description
The series where mathematician Marcus du Sautoy combines visual demonstrations with his unique gift for explanation.In this programme, Marcus explains how, instead of using paint and canvas, mathematicians use numbers and equations to represent the world around us. Marcus shows us how mathematics is threaded through the natural world by taking us on a journey from plant growth to music to football. He meets Dr. Mark Miodownik who explains how how the head on a pint if beer forms. Marcus hopes to convince us that mathematics let's us see the world in a way that is as breathtaking as the finest works of Van Goth, Monet or Renoir - that the world we live in is indeed painted with numbers.
