Using a computer to visualise change in biological organisms

In his pioneering work On Growth and Form published in 1917, the biologist D'Arcy Thompson (1860 - 1948) laid the foundations of what is now called bio-mathematics.

Here is a picture of D'Arcy Thompson. You can see more about him in our History of Mathematics archive.
