CONTACT:Daniel Rothig
DESCRIPTION:Symmetry\, regularity\, and beauty are qualities that we disco
 ver in a plethora of natural shapes. Dr. Dan Lunn\, Fellow in Mathematics 
 at Oxford\, invites us to explore the mathematical patterns behind foragin
 g. Drawing examples from the growth of leaves\, starfish foraging for prey
 \, and fungi foraging for wood on the forest floor\, Dr Lunn will demonstr
 ate how mathematics can predict the most successful\, and hence most preva
 lent\, patterns occuring in nature. \n\nBuilding a bridge between the real
 ms of biology and mathematics\, this talk presents brand new research that
  generalises the theory to other structures\, such as biofilms. Be among t
 he first to hear what was found!\n\nEntry £2\, Free for SciSoc members
