  • Leonardo of Pisa or Pisano

    Itallian Mathematician who is famous for Fibonacci Sequence and published Liber Abaci and Book of Calculations around 1200 AD
  • The terms in Fibonacci sequence is called Fibonacci numbers.
  • Golden Rectangle
    is known as one of the most visually satisfying of all geometric forms - hence, the appearance of the Golden Ratio in art. It is also related to the Golden Spiral, which is created by making adjacent squares of Fibonacci dimensions.
  • Fibonacci Spiral
    It approximates the golden spiral, using Fibonacci sequence square sizes up to 34. Take a golden rectangle, break it down into smaller squares based from Fibonacci Sequence and divide each with an arc.
  • The Golden Ratio is the limit of the ratios of successive terms of Fibonacci Sequence, as originally shown by Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630).
  • The golden ratio is equals to 1.618 or (1 + √5)/2
  • Fibonacci can be seen in
    Flower petals
    Sunflower seeds
    Pineapple spirals
    Pinecone spirals
  • Luca Pacioli
    is the one who found the relationship between Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio.
  • The golden ratio was first called as the Divine Proportion in the early 1500s in Leonardo Da Vinci’s work was explored by Luca Pacioli (italian mathematician) entitled “De Divina Proportione” in 1509
  • Da Vinci’s drawings of the 5 platonic solids and it was probably da Vinci who first called it “section aurea” latin for golden section.
  • Golden Ratio can be seen in
    Nature
    Body Parts
    Arts
  • the greek symbol for golden ration is Phi, from Phidias who widely used the golden ratio in his works of sculpture like the exterior dimension of Parthenon in Greece
  • In the book Timateus by Plato, he describes 5 regular solids that relates to golden ratio

    Tetrahedron also known as triangular pyramid with 4 faces
    Cube with 6 faces
    Octahedron, a polyhedron with 8 faces
    Dodecahedron, a polyhedron with 12 faces
    Icosahedron, a polyhedron with 20 faces
  • Euclid

    He was the first to give definition of the golden ratio as “a dividing line in the extreme and mean ratio” in his book the “Elements.”
    He proved the link of the number to the construction of the pentagram, known as golden ratio

    Monalisa
    St. Jerome
    the Last Supper

  • Rembrandt or Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijn is

    Dutch painter who applied golden triangle in his painting "self portrait"
  • Sandro Botticelli or Alessandro di Mariano di Yanni Filipepi

    the Birth of Venus is one of the world’s famous and appreciated work of art and it was painted between 1482 1485.
  • Georges Seurat works are

    Barthers of Asinieres
    Bridge of Courbevoie
    A Sunday on La Grande Jatte
  • Salvador Dali who framed his paintings using the golden ratio in his masterpiece, “The Sacrament of the Last Supper.”
  • The Great Pyramid of Giza, a Golden ratio of Architecture is built 4700 BC in Ahmes Papyrus of Egypt is with proportion according to a golden ratio.
  • Notre Dame, a Golden ratio of Architecture is Gothic Cathedral in Paris, built in between 1163 and 1250.
  • Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartes, an architecture in Paris, France also exhibits the golden ratio.
  • Taj Mahal in India used the golden ratio in its construction and was completed in 1648.
  • United Nations Building, the window configuration reveal golden proportion.

  • Types of Patterns
    Symmetry
    Fractals
    Spirals
  • Symmetry is a sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion of balance or an object is invariant to any of various transformations (reflection, rotation, or scaling).

    2 types of Symmetry are
    • Bilateral - in which the left and right sides of organism can be divided into approximately mirror image of each other along the midline.
    • Radial - around a fixed point known as the center
  • FRACTALS
    It is a class of highly irregular shapes and is a curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole.
  • SPIRALS
    It was first described by Rene Descartes and was later investigated by Jacob Bernoulli. A logarithmic spiral (or growth spiral) is a self-similar spiral curve which often appears in nature.

  • Mathematics in the Modern World by Winston S. Sirug, Ph.D. ... what is physical is subject to the laws of mathematics, and what is spiritual to the laws of God, and the laws of mathematics are but the expressions of the thoughts of God.
  • MATHEMATICAL LANGUAGE
    is the system used to communicate mathematical ideas.
  • Mathematical notation
    used for formulas has its own grammar and is shared by mathematicians anywhere in the globe.
  • An expression (or mathematical expression) is a finite combination of symbols that is well-defined according to rules that depend on the context.
  • Symbols can designate numbers, variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuations, and groupings to help determine order of operations, and the other aspects of mathematical syntax.
  • Expression - correct arrangement of mathematical symbols to represent the object of interest, does not contain a complete thought, and cannot be determined if it's true or false
  • Sentence (or mathematical sentence) - a statement about two expressions, either using numbers, variables, or a combination of both.
