This rich and inviting exhibit is inspired by science writer John Perlin's classic A Forest Journey: The Role of Wood in the Development of Civilization. It sheds new light on the history of the use of wood throughout the world, on forest products (from paper to lifesaving pharmaceuticals) and on the relationship between forests and the green house effect.

Math is everywhere in Nature! Look around, the pattern of spots on your dog, the delicate symmetry of butterfly wings, the shape of crystals in salt are all evidence of some of the mathematical properties of nature. Nature's Numbers provides opportunities for play with math and nature.
