A colleague of mine shared the video below with us today and I just had to share it as well. As much as math has plagued me my entire life I do appreciate the fact that, really, math is at the core of just about everything in our universe. Take a look at a field or meadow sometime. Perhaps it may seem chaotic, especially to our human eyes that want to seek order and symmetry, but look closer at the flowers, pine cones, and leaves that you may find there and you will find order out of seeming chaos. The development of many things in nature are ruled by what is known as the Fibonacci sequence, a sequence of numbers that manifests itself in a beautiful symmetry all around us. Our earth is a way cool place. You just have to take the time to learn a little about it to truly understand just how amazing it is.
