Discover the mathematics woven through the natural world with Numbers in Nature, part of the Deadly Science series by Australian Geographic, created with Corey Tutt. From the aerodynamics of a boomerang to the swarming behaviour of bees, this book reveals how mathematical concepts — number patterns, symmetry, algebra, and geometry — appear all around us, in nature, architecture, art, biology, and everyday life.

Exploring how First Australians have applied these same principles for millennia, the book blends modern science with Indigenous knowledge to offer a rich and meaningful perspective on mathematics. Designed to inspire curiosity and a fresh way of seeing the world, it's a wonderful resource for young learners who think maths has nothing to do with the natural world — until now.
