Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Section
While I work on the next bioethics article and another one about
creationism, here is a post just to put something up today. I
found a link to a great site that has a ton of information about
Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Section.
The Fibonacci numbers are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ... (add
the last two to get the next)
The golden section numbers are ±0·61803 39887... and ±1·61803 39887...
The golden string is 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 ...
a sequence of 0s and 1s which is closely related to the Fibonacci
numbers and the golden section.
Here is the Home page for Ron Knott's Surrey University multimedia web site on the Fibonacci numbers, the Golden section and the Golden string. It even includes a Fibonacci Calculator !
Just in case you've got nothing better to do today.
