D´Arcy Thompson

D´Arcy Thompson (1860-1948) was a great british mathematician and biologist, some call him the first "biomathematician". In his work "On Growth and Form", he analyzed biological appearances and processes with respect to physical and mathematical aspects. He paid particular attention to structures in tissues and cells, as well as to theories about transformation in related forms.
