Fitting a Logarithmic Spiral to Empirical Data with Displaced Origin" Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=897863
Introduction: Nature produces amazingly varied geometrical patterns (Gielis, 2003). In particular, logarithmic spirals are abundantly observed in nature. Gastropods/cephalopods (such as nautilus, cowie, grove snail, thatcher, etc.) in the mollusca phylum have spiral shells, mostly exhibiting logarit...

| Summary: | Introduction: Nature produces amazingly varied geometrical patterns (Gielis, 2003). In particular, logarithmic spirals are abundantly observed in nature. Gastropods/cephalopods (such as nautilus, cowie, grove snail, thatcher, etc.) in the mollusca phylum have spiral shells, mostly exhibiting logarithmic spirals vividly. Spider webs show a similar pattern. The low-pressure area over Iceland and the Whirlpool Galaxy resemble logarithmic |
