Math and biology might seem like distant worlds, but they intertwine more often than you'd think. In this section, we’ll explore those surprising connections - often hidden from a casual glance.
Here you can see a sunflower and the Fibonacci sequence. Sunflower seeds arrange themselves in spirals, radiating outward from the center, following the ratios described by the Fibonacci sequence.
Many natural structures - even leaves growing one after another along the same branch - follow patterns that reflect Fibonacci’s logic. That’s because this sequence helps optimize how many elements can fit in a given space, or how much sunlight leaves on a branch can capture.
