The Size and Shape of Nature

Sunday, Dec 13 (2009) 2:00p
Price: Included in Admission
Age Suitability: None Specified
Tags: nature, outdoors

How can it be that a tiny ant can lift many times its own weight, while a beached whale cannot support its own weight? Why are large mammals so rare while bacteria are so abundant? Why do some organisms live for hours, while others live for over a century? Using size as a beacon, L. Mahadevan, Harvard Professor of Applied Mathematics, will describe how the intersecting worlds of mathematics, physics, and engineering allow us to understand life's variations.
