Nature by Numbers

In this beautiful video, "Nature by Numbers," filmmaker Cristobal Vila presents a series of animations illustrating various mathematic principles, beginning with a breathtaking animation of the Fibonacci Sequence before moving on to the Golden Ratio, the Angle Ratio, the Delaunay Triangulation and Voronoi Tessellations. The words are scary-sounding, but the math is beautiful and the film serves to remind us of the intimate relationship between nature and math.

This movie was inspired by numbers, geometry and nature.
You can learn more about the videographer, Cristóbal Vila, at etereaestudios. That website has more information about the film, including a fascinating step-by-step explanation of the theory behind the film (English is side-by-side con Español), along with stills, screenshots, tutorials and workshops.
