摘要
古希腊人相信，自然是按照理性设计的。理性的精髓是数学，因此毕达哥拉斯认为，宇宙是以数学方式设计和运行的。到了17世纪初叶，著名德国科学家开普勒将毕达哥拉斯的观念用于对星球观测数据的分析，发现了支配行星运动的三个定律。
The life is probably designed according to mathematical principles.Allometric scaling law,which presents the relationship between metabolic rate and body mass of organisms,is one of the famous mathematical laws in physiology and zoology.In the post-genomic age,people again pay attention to the entity and com- plexity of life.Therefore,the allometric scaling law now has been analyzed by scientists in many aspects, such as the biological reasons and the value of the power.
