The Parsimonious Universe Shape and Form in the Natural World
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Springer Verlag
- Publish date: 10/01/1996
Description:
Skillfully integrating text and full-color illustrations, The Parsimonious Universe describes the efforts of scientists and mathematicians since the Renaissance to identify and describe the basic laws underlying the shape of natural forms. The book looks at centuries worth of evidence showing that the physical world adheres to the principle of the economy of means -- meaning nature achieves efficiency by being rather stingy with the energy it expends.
