The scope of this mini review is to show as neuromotor control often applies mathematical principles and properties improving efficiency of movements. We reported four examples: harmony of human walking is based on the fractal property of self-similarity because based on the golden ratio, anatomy of human hand follows Fibonacci’s sequence for optimizing grasping, the 2/3 power-law at which curvilinear movements obey, and the possibility of brain to predict the movement of falling objects applying an implicit knowledge of the Newton’s gravitational law
