| description | Mathematical analysis in the physical seiences has a long
history that reveals not only a rich harvest of fundamental
insights but also leads to a wonderment at the in trinsically
formal beauty in nature. Rigorous analysis or form and
function in the biological sciences has been a more recent
innovation. but introduction of' the principles of similarity.
scaling, fractal geometry, harmony and proportion has
hroadened our perspective. The lung provides an apt example
to illustrate the usefulness of this kind or thinking. |
