Description
How can it be that a tiny ant can lift many times its own weight, while a beached whale cannot support its own weight Why are large mammals so rare while bacteria are so abundant Why do some organisms live for hours, while others live for over a century Using size as a beacon, L. Mahadevan, Harvard Professor of Applied Mathematics, will describe how the intersecting worlds of mathematics, physics, and engineering allow us to understand lifes variations.
