What is the Golden Section? What is the Golden Section?
Golden Golden Section is a proportion, in Section is a proportion, in
which a straight line (or a rectangle) is which a straight line (or a rectangle) is
divided into divided into two unequal two unequal parts in such a parts in such a
way, that the ratio of the smaller to way, that the ratio of the smaller to way, that the ratio of the smaller to way, that the ratio of the smaller to
the greater part is the same as the greater part is the same as that of that of
the greater part to the whole figure the greater part to the whole figure
(AB:BC=BC:AC) (AB:BC=BC:AC)
Golden Section is the only non
natural number whose mutual and
whose square keep unchanged its
decimal part.

The golden section has always had
a great influence on many subjects:
Geometry
Architecture
Art Art
Music
Science(botanic)
Egyptians and Greeks Egyptians and Greeks
It appears that the Egyptians may
have used both pi and phi in the
design of the Great Pyramids.
The Greeks based
the design of the
Parthenon on this proportion
Geometry Geometry
Pythagoras was the first who discovered a golden
proportion drawing a regular pentagram, which has a
regular pentagon inscribed within it(and that was the
Pythagorean's symbol as well).
Euclid provides the first known written
definition of what is now call golden ratio
The golden ratio (phi) represented as a line
divided into two segments A and B, such that
the entire line is to the longer A segment as
the A segment is to the shorter B segment

Fibonacci discovered the first sequence ever known in Europe
examining at the same time a practical problem which dealt
with the development of a hypothetical population of rabbits
based on idealized assumptions. He noticed that, after every
monthly birth, the number of the rabbits couples increased
from 1 to 2 to 3 to 5 to 8 to 13 etc., and understood that
the sequence moved on by adding the previous two numbers, a
sequence which could theoretically continue without ending. sequence which could theoretically continue without ending.

The special meaning of Phi The special meaning of Phi
Phi is the first letter of Phidias,
who used the golden ratio
in his sculptures, as well as
the Greek equivalent to the
letter "F," the first letter of
Fibonacci. Phi is also the
21st letter of the Greek
alphabet, and 21 is one
of numbers in the Fibonacci series.
Phi as a door to understanding life Phi as a door to understanding life
The description of this proportion as Golden
and Divine is fitting perhaps because it is seen
by many to open the door to a deeper
understanding of beauty and spirituality in
life. That's an incredible role for a single
number to play, but then again this one
number has played an incredible role in human number has played an incredible role in human
history and in the universe at large.

There are several
examples of fractals,
which are defined as
portraying exact self-
similarity, quasi self-
similarity, or statistical
self-similarity. While
fractals are a
mathematical mathematical
construct, they are
found in nature, which
has led to their
inclusion in artwork.
They are useful in
medicine, soil
mechanics, seismology,
and technical analysis.
