Mathematics is a subject created by human beings. In fact, there are many wonderful animal "mathematicians" in nature. Today I will share with you some "mathematical geniuses" in nature.

Bees-"Genius Designers"

Have you carefully observed the structure of the hive?

It looks very beautiful and neat, and the hive built by worker bees is also very wonderful. It is a strictly hexagonal cylinder. It has a hexagonal opening at one end and the bottom of a closed hexagonal pyramid at the other end, which consists of three identical diamonds. Some people even regard the beehive as a strange building in nature, and many architects are ashamed of the ability of bees to build beehives.

Some experts measured the size of a large number of beehives. Surprisingly, all obtuse angles and acute angles of the rhombus forming the chassis are109 28' and 70 32' respectively.

Later, mathematicians calculated theoretically that a regular hexagon has the largest area, consumes the least materials and can store more honey. We have to express our heartfelt admiration for the mathematical talent of bees.

Ants-"Mathematical Wizards Who Can Multiply and Divide"

Teenagers, will they stay on the ground for a long time when they see ants moving?

An ordinary ant's computing power is superb.

British scientists have done an interesting experiment: cut a dead grasshopper into three pieces, the second piece is twice as big as the first piece, and the third piece is twice as big as the second piece. Forty minutes after the ant colony found these three pieces of food, the smallest grasshopper gathered 28 ants, the second one had 44 ants, and the third one had 89 ants. The latter group is almost twice as many as the former group. It seems that the multiplication and division method of ants is quite good!

Not only that, ants can always find the shortest path when looking for food. It's amazing that ants can calculate so accurately!

Coral-"Little Calendar Expert"

On the other hand, corals show extraordinary mathematical talent, and they can write "calendars" wonderfully on themselves. Every year, you carve 365 circular lines on your body wall, which is obviously one line a day.

Some paleontologists found that 350 million years ago, corals "painted" 400 annual rings. Astronomers tell us that there were only 2 1.9 hours in a day on the earth at that time, which means that there were 400 days instead of 365 days in that year.

It can be seen that corals can "calculate" and "record" the time of a year according to the changes of astronomical phenomena, and the results are quite accurate. It's amazing!

Spider-"Geometry Expert"

I'm not talking about Spider-Man, the spinning superhero!

The octagonal geometric pattern of spider knots is complex and beautiful. This kind of "gossip net" can't draw the symmetry of spider web with a ruler and compasses.

When analyzing this beautiful structure with mathematical methods, the concepts appearing on the spider web are really amazing-radius, chord, parallel line segment, triangle, congruent corresponding angle, logarithmic spiral, catenary and transcendental line, which are super amazing!
