This book takes an in-depth look at the mathematics and numerical relationships in the geometry of familiar natural forms, such as pine cones, eggs, plants, flowers, vegetables and invertebrates like nautilus shells. This book will be interesting both to the curious high school science student, as well as scientists and mathematicians interested in the precise mathematics of these relationships.Here is a list of the chapter titles: - Ratios and Proportions- Ratios and the Fibonacci Sequence- Phyllotaxis- Progressions- The Golden Proportion- Fractals- Golden Spirals- The Logarithmic Spiral- Logarithmic Spirals as related to Rectangles- Logarithmic Spiral of the Chambered Nautilu
