Episode 02: The Everywhereness of Scaling
Summary:
Being very clever with just a writing implement and the back of an envelope. Okay, a magic rectangle and a stylus. The point stands. We take in some examples of allometric and isometric scaling in biology, ecology, and physics, and revel in the greatness that is the Buckingham π theorem. Main tools: Envelopes, dimensional analysis, matrixology, and being very, very clever.
