So this book is called "Nature's Numbers," but it's really more about nature's patterns than anything else. Essentially what we have here is a quick introduction into the importance of modern mathematics -- in particular chaos theory, symmetry, and pattern analysis -- in the study of biological and physical science.

The book is a quick read, aimed at people who want a quick understanding of the topic without having to actually get into the nitty gritty details. Still, it left me only mildly interested.

3 of 5 stars.
