His greatest contribution was the book “On Growth and Form”, being a sigular and creative book, expressing a critique biologists of his time which were considered overestimating the role of evolution and therefore undervaluing mathematics as a means of study of physics and mechanics in determining the shape and structure of living things, just as proposing an answer to all the “divine elements”, saying that “the numerical precision is the very soul of science”
