Great observation! Try googling fractals. I used to love playing with these when I was younger, so artistic and yet the same principles are the underpining of sea-shells, trees, mountains, etc. Also look at things like the golden ratio... Beauty is everywhere and mathematics is echo'ed in it.

EDIT: And yes I suppose I really should get back to intersecting conics (this afternoon's project) rather than reading CD!
