你有没有观察过一片叶子,对它能精确地分成两半惊奇吗?你有没有注意到各种花的花瓣形成完美星形?你有没有注意到某些贝壳和松果螺旋形的生长模式?面对奇妙纷呈的自然界,我们中的大多数人往往认为数学只是人类的专利,其实,自然界中也存在许多名不见经传的“数学家”。蚂蚁是“计算专家”。英国科学家兴斯顿做过一个有趣的实验,他把一只蚂蚱切成3块,第二块比笫一块大1倍,第三块比第二块大1倍。当
Have you ever observed a leaf, can it be divided into two halves accurately? Have you noticed that the petals of various flowers form a perfect star? Have you noticed the growth patterns of certain shells and pine cones spirally? In the face of the wonderful natural world, most of us tend to think that mathematics is only a human patent. In fact, there are many unknown mathematicians in nature. Ants are “calculators.” An interesting experiment was done by the British scientist Xingstun. He cut a grasshopper into three pieces. The second piece was one time larger than the piece and the third piece was one time larger than the second piece. when
