Beautiful Mathematics in the Natural World
from Siraj Raval
This is my end of the year video! I wanted to do something a little different. I traveled to Portland, Oregon for a week to explore/meet people and decided to use the shots I took while hiking to illustrate how math is all around us in the natural world. We can and will discover the rules of intelligence. The fact that it is governed by mathematics only makes it that much more beautiful. From simple rules emerge incredible complexity.
