Fibonaccinumbers, The Golden Mean, The Golden Angle, Delaunay Triangulation and Voronoi Tessellation are concepts that to the uninitiated sound pretty advanced. In just over three minutes, however, some of these basic patterns and regular features of nature are highlighted and illustrated in mathematical terms. It can also be an effective way of introducing Fractals.
Watch the film and then read the step by step run through of the theories the film is based on. A picture says more than a thousand words, as the saying goes. This little film says more than a thousand figures.
