What is Golden Ratio?
The Golden Ratio is a
unique number, approximately 1.618033989. It is also known as
the Divine Ratio, the Golden Mean, the Golden Number, and the Golden Section.
Слайд 4
What is the Fibonacci Sequence of Numbers?
The Fibonacci
numbers are a unique sequence of integers, starting with
1, where each element is the sum of the two previous numbers. For example: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, etc.
Слайд 5
Relationship between the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden
Ratio
The Fibonacci Sequence is an infinite sequence, which means
it goes on for ever, and as it develops, the ratio of the consecutive terms converges (becomes closer) to the Golden Ratio, ~1.618. For example, to find the ratio of any two successive numbers, take the latter number and divide by the former. So, we will have: 1/1=1, 2/1=2, 3/2=1.5, 5/3=1.66, 8/5=1.6, 13/8=1.625, 21/13=1.615.
Слайд 6
As we can see, the ratio approaches the
Golden Ratio. Even though we know it approaches this
one particular constant, we can see from the graph that it will never reach this exact value.

Constructing a Golden Rectangle
Given: a square ABCD
Find midpoint
on DC
Connect MB
Draw a circle with the center of
M, radius of MB
Expand the DC until it meets with the circle. The intersection is one vertex of the rectangle
Complete the rectangle
Слайд 9
Golden triangle
The golden triangle is an isosceles triangleThe
golden triangle is an isosceles triangle such that the
ratio of the hypotenuse a to base b is equal to the golden ratio. From the above figure, this means that the triangle has vertex angle equal to

Plants growth
The branching rates in plants occur in
the Fibonacci pattern, where the first level has one
"branching" (the trunk), the second has two branches, than 3, 5, 8, 13 and so on. Also, the spacing of leaves around each branch or stalk spirals with respect to the Golden Ratio.
Слайд 12
Flowers
On the back of the passiflora incarnate, the
3 sepals (the part of the flower that is
not the petal) that protected the bud are outermost, followed by the 5 outer green petals and an inner layer of 5 more paler green petals.
Слайд 13
Petal counts
The petals of the different flowers also
contain the Fibonacci Numbers. The examples are that the
buttercup has 5 petals, delphiniums has 8 petals, ragwort has 13 petals, aster as 21 petals, plantain has 34 petals, and asteraceae family has 55 petals, and some of them have 89 petals.

The Golden Ratio in Humans
Dr. Stephen Marquardt is
a former plastic surgeon, has used the golden section
and some of its relatives to make a mask that he claims that is the most beautiful shape a human face can ever have, it used decagons and pentagons as its function that embodies phi in all their dimensions.
Слайд 15
The Human Smile
A perfect smile: the front two
teeth form a golden rectangle. There is also a
Golden Ratio in the height to width of the center two teeth. And the ratio of the width of the two center teeth to those next to them is phi. And, the ratio of the width of the smile to the third tooth from the center is also phi.
Слайд 16
The Golden Ratio in Arts
The Golden Ratio has
a great impact on art, influencing artists' perspectives of
a pleasant art piece. Da Vinci, a sculpture, a painter, an inventor and a mathematician, was the first one who first called Phi the Golden Ratio.
Слайд 17
Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa's face is a perfect golden
rectangle, according to the ratio of the width of
her forehead compared to the length from the top of her head to her chin.
Слайд 18
The last supper
The masterpiece "Last Supper," contains a
golden ratio in several places, appearing in both the
ceiling and the position where the people sit.
Слайд 19
Statue of Athena
In the Statue of Athena, the
first Golden Ratio is the length from the front
head to the ear opening compared with the length from the forehead to the chin. The second one appears in the ratio of the length from the nostril to the earlobe compare with the length from the nostril to the chin.
Слайд 20
The Golden Ratio in Architecture
The Golden Ratio has
appeared in ancient architecture. Not only did the ancient
Egyptians and Greeks know about the magic of Golden Ratio, so did the Renaissance artists, who used the Golden Ratio in the design of Notre Dame in between the 12th and 14th centuries.

The Great Pyramid at Giza
Half of the base,
the slant height, and the height from the vertex
to the center create a right triangle.
Слайд 22
The Parthenon
The exterior dimensions of the Parthenon form
a Golden Ratio in many of the proportions.

The UN Building
In the United Nations building, the
width of the building compared with the height of
every ten floors is a Golden Ratio.
