I felt I needed to share this (http://biertijd.com/mediaplayer/?itemid=19514) with you lot.

Its a short movie, combining simple math and some elements of natures wonderful flora and fauna.

Fabulous!
I was first introduced to math in nature by a book by Lancelot Hogben 'Mathematics for the Million' about 30 years ago. This film has brought all the line drawings in the book to life. Beautiful.
Thanks for that :D

Fascinating, indeed :D I can't really understand how some (or perhaps most?) people simply don't see all the wonders that lies within the field of mathematics. Just look at things such as the golden ration and see how it "magically" appears all around us :woot2:
