It is often represented by a Greek letter Phi Φ. The Fibonacci numbers are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ... (add the last two to get the next) The golden ratio and Fibonacci numbers relate in such that sea shell shapes, branching plants, flower petals and seeds, leaves and petal arrangements, all involve the Fibonacci numbers. Have You Seen This? The Golden Mean and Aesthetics Throughout history, the ratio for length to width of rectangles of 1.61803 39887 49894 84820 has been considered the most pleasing to the eye.

The exterior dimensions of the Parthenon in Athens, built in about 440BC, form a perfect golden rectangle. Leonardo Da Vinci Many artists who lived after Phidias have used this proportion. Leonardo Da Vinci called it the divine proportion and featured it in many of his paintings, for example in the famous Mona Lisa. Try drawing a rectangle around her face. Are the measurements in a golden proportion? You can further explore this by subdividing the rectangle formed by using her eyes as a horizontal divider. The “Vitruvian Man” Leonardo did an entire exploration of the human body and the ratios of the lengths of various body parts. “Vitruvian Man” illustrates that the human body is proportioned according to the Golden Ratio. The Golden Mean is Also Found in Nature * * Note that each new square has a side which is as long as the sum of the latest two squares sides.
