"" is a mathematics course produced by The Teaching Company (TTC) —now known as The Great Courses —and taught by Professor Satyan L. Devadoss .
The 36-lecture series explores the hidden geometry and topological structures found within the natural world, moving beyond standard Euclidean shapes to examine how complex forms like DNA, proteins, and bubbles are organized. Key Themes & Topics
The course uses visual examples to explain advanced mathematical concepts:
: The Travel Corporation (TTC) supports "nature-based solutions" through its TreadRight Foundation , funding projects like kelp forest restoration and rainforest protection. Events - Earth Day Clear Lake
: Investigates the mathematical properties of knots and their application to DNA entanglement and molecular symmetry.
: Discusses Cauchy's rigidity and Connelly's flexibility, applying these to folding structures like origami and protein chains. Related "Shape of Nature" Content
: The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) uses similar language in its Innovation and Sustainability Strategy , focusing on protecting and enhancing the natural environment.
