Nature and Numbers : : A Mathematical Photo Shooting / / Georg Glaeser.

Mathematicians with special interest in biology, physics, geography, astronomy, architecture, design, etc., and being prepared to take pictures at any time, might try to answer unusual questions like the followings: What do a zebra, a tiger shark, and a hard coral have in common? How is this with dr...

Mathematicians with special interest in biology, physics, geography, astronomy, architecture, design, etc., and being prepared to take pictures at any time, might try to answer unusual questions like the followings: What do a zebra, a tiger shark, and a hard coral have in common? How is this with drying mud, wings of dragon flies, and the structures of leaves? What is the “snail king” and is there also a “worm king”? Which curves stay of the same type after being photographed? Do fishes see like we do if we look through a fisheye lens? Which geometric properties of an object have physical consequences? Which kinds of geometric patterns appear when waves are interfering? In this book you can find 180 double pages with at least as many questions of this kind. The principle to attack a problem is often similar: It starts with a photo that is for some reasons remarkable. In a short description an explanation is offered, including relevant Internet links. Additionally one can frequently find computer simulations in order to illustrate and confirm.
Mathematiker, die ein besonderes Interesse an Biologie, Physik, Geografie, Astronomie, Architektur, Design und anderen Naturwissenschaften zeigen und ständig bereit sind zu fotografieren, könnten versuchen, ungewöhnliche Fragen wie diese zu beantworten: Was haben ein Zebra, ein Tigerhai, und eine Steinkoralle gemeinsam? Und wie ist das mit trocknendem Schlamm, Libellenflügeln, und den Strukturen von Blättern? Was ist der „Schnecken-König“ und gibt es auch einen „Wurm-König“? Sehen Fische die Welt wie wir, wenn wir durch eine Fisheye-Linse blicken? Welche geometrischen Eigenschaften eines Objektes haben physikalische Konsequenzen? Welche Arten geometrischer Muster treten bei Interferenz von Wellen auf? In diesem Buch finden sich auf 180 Doppelseiten mindestens genauso viele Fragen dieser Art. Das Prinzip der Annäherung an eine Frage ist oftmals ähnlich: Ausgangspunkt ist ein Foto, das aus irgendeinem Grund bemerkenswert ist. In einer Kurzbeschreibung wird dann die dazugehörige Frage erörtert und um Links zu themenspezifischen Internet-Ressourcen ergänzt.
