The Pentagram
Golden Ratio
Geometry has two great treasures: one the Theorem of Pythagoras;
the other, the division of a line into extreme and mean ratio.
The first we may compare to a measure of gold; the second we may
name a precious jewel. Johann Kepler (1571-1630)
The 'ratio' has become known as the golden ratio or golden section
This ratio can be found in many places: in art, architecture, and mathematics.
Consider the construction of the regular
pentagon. If the side AB of a regular pentagon
(see figure to the right) has unit length,
then any diagonal, such as AC, has length and this is the golden ratio Notice also the diagonals of the pentagon form another regular pentagon in the center of the figure with, of course, the potential for additional diagonals to be drawn, thus generating the golden ratio again as well as another regular pentagon further inside the figure. Presumably this could continue indefinitely. The golden ratio also appears in comparing consecutive elements of certain kinds of sequences, most notably, the

A brief introduction to Golden Ratio
freely taken from "Golden sections and sequences in an unstable problem" by Lucio Cadeddu
Golden Ratio is an easy concept of elementary geometry which has had, and still has, great relevance both in human designs and in Nature.
Recently it has had wide application in HiFi Audio too. Let me write down a brief survey on Golden Ratio and its amazing history.
Let us take a segment a of lenght 1. Another segment b is said to be the Golden Section of a if it solves the following equation: b + b - 1 = that is to say the two segments respect the following proportion: a : b = b : (a-b) . In simpler words, given the fact that a has lenght 1, b must be 0.618 approx. Historically the Golden Ratio was well known to the Egyptians who used it for building their pyramids but it achieved wider popularity thanks to the Greek geometers.
We have to wait till 1496 in order to have that ratio called "Golden Ratio". Actually the mathematician (Friar) Pacioli wrote a paper called "De Divina Proportione" where he referred to that ratio as a God-given number one can find everywhere in Nature.

Less known than pi is another number, phi (f), which is in many respects even more fascinating. Suppose I ask you, for example: What do the delightful petal arrangement in a red rose, Salvador Dali's famous painting "Sacrament of the Last Supper," the magnificent spiral shells of mollusks, and the breeding of rabbits all have in common? Hard to believe, but these very disparate examples do have in common a certain number or geometrical proportion known since antiquity, a number that in the nineteenth century was given the honorifics "Golden Number," "Golden Ratio," and "Golden Section." A book published in Italy at the beginning of the sixteenth century went so far as to call this ratio the "Divine Proportion." In everyday life, we use the word "proportion" either for the comparative relation between parts of things with respect to size or quantity or when we want to describe a harmonious relationship between different parts. In mathematics, the term "proportion" is used to describe an equality of the type: nine is to three as six is to two. As we shall see, the Golden Ratio provides us with an intriguing mingling of the two definitions in that, while defined mathematically, it is claimed to have pleasingly harmonious qualities.

    by Mario Livio
    The Golden Ratio is a captivating journey through art and architecture, botany and biology, physics and mathematics. It tells the human story of numerous phi-fixated individuals, including the followers of Pythagoras, who believed that this proportion revealed the hand of God; astronomer Johannes Kepler, who saw phi as one of the greatest treasures of geometry; such medieval thinkers as mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci of Pisa; and such masters of the modern world as Debussy, Le Corbusier, Bartok, and physicist Roger Penrose. Wherever his quest for the meaning of phi takes him, Mario Livio reveals the world as a place where order, beauty, and eternal mystery will always coexist.
    from Broadway
    Broadway, 2002, 294 pages, 6 ¼" x 9 ½", hardcover
    More than 2,000 years ago, Euclid defined the number phi-1.6180339887-and linked it to the construction of the pentagram. Since then, this never-ending, never-repeating, irrational number has been called the Golden Number or the Golden Ratio and linked to patterns ranging from the petal arrangement of roses to the composition of the "Mona Lisa." Astrophysicist Livio takes an invigorating look at this ubiquitous number by examining the mathematical, aesthetic, and metaphysical qualities attributed to phi over the centuries. He also profiles the scientists and artists who have harnessed phi for a variety of purposes. He gives special attention to phi's appearance in natural patterns in the world. from Science News

    What does it mean to be Golden Welcome to the wonderful world where everything is Golden!! presented to you by Pete Welcome! I am currently enrolled in a college course at the University of Illinois called The History of the Calculus and I thought for one of my course projects it would be very helpful for my fellow scholars to have a webpage that would help explain what it means to be "Golden" (that is in the mathematical sense). The topic of Golden is one of the more exciting topics in mathematics and one people should be familiar with. The goal of this annotated webpage is to list some very helpful websites that will give an overview of Golden with examples and some sites that contain some superb activities and lesson plans involving the concept of Golden for teachers. A quick description of the Golden Ratio: The Golden Ratio is often represented by Phi. Its approximate value it 1.61803... but more accurately is represented by (sqrt.of 5 + 1) / 2. As you notice Phi is an irrational number and has some very interesting properties and is often seen in the real world. To find out more about Phi please look at some of the intriguing webpages below. Links on the Golden Ratio: Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Section - by Dr. Ron Knott. This is a very detailed webpage with a lot of information on the Golden section and Fibonacci Sequence but on numerous pages. Be ready to maneuver yourself through this page to find what you are looking for, but don't worry it is probably there. There is an overview on what Golden is; there are examples of the Golden section in nature, art, architecture, and music; Golden section occurring in Geometry and Trigonometry; constructions; you name it.

    The Golden Ratio or Golden Mean is a number revered since antiquity that appears with suprising frequency in natural designs and great works of art. At Golden Ratio Design we believe well-designed computer applications and web tools are recognizable for their simplicity and elegance. We bring this concept to web-based and Palm OS applications for health care clinical desion making and productivity. The Palm OS is the dominant operating system for handheld computing, and for good reasons: simplicity, utility, dependability and a wide range of available software. As a physician dealing with volumes of critical information on a regular basis, the value of handheld computing has been very apparent to me. I have created a few applications for the Palm OS of use to the medical community, and am at work on other applications placing needed databases literally in the palm of the clinician's hand.

    In races, why does the most favoured starter win less than half the time?
    Why does it not win all the time? Just what % does it win?

    • Not 0% either. What % then? What does nature say is the correct balance of success over failure? Not surprisingly, it is arithmetic and algebra and calculus that have been holding the answers to these questions all along. They just needed bringing out into the open for all to see.
    Results reach a perfect balance when phi, f , the Golden Ratio, is the natural fulcrum
    • Mathematics predicts that favourites will win 38.2% of races, with an average of 38.2% of the people actually choosing that starter. In fact, the percentage of people who choose any starter is a very good indicator of its chances of success. This discovery is a major breakthrough in itself, but many things follow. You will find the Golden Ratio is also involved in election results. It is even at the footie, balancing how often the goal kicker will be successful. The theory was recently published.

    What is the golden ratio?
    Its a little known marketing technique that say that, as long as the longest side on any oblong is 1.6 times the length of the shortest side of the same oblong people will be more likely to prefer that shape over any other shape.
    Why do they prefer this size? Because it occurs naturally and, subconsciously EVERY LIVING PERSON is attracted to this trait.
    An example of this is as follows:
    1) Stand Up 2) Measure the distance from your head to your feet and write this measurement down 3) Measure the distance from your Navel (belly button to people like OTC :) write this figure down. The length of your ENTIRE body is 1.6 times longer than from your Navel to your feet!!

    Article #716 by Larry Gedney This article is provided as a public service by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, in cooperation with the UAF research community. Larry Gedney is a seismologist at the Institute. Cross-section of nautilus shell showing the growth pattern of chambers governed by the golden ratio. What do the chambers of a nautilus shell have in common with the Parthenon and playing cards? It turns out that their forms are examples of a standard proportion. There is a fundamental ratio found over and over again in nature that seems to please human perceptions. Geometrically, it can be defined as the ratio obtained if a line is divided so that the length of the shorter segment is in the same proportion to that of the longer segment as the length of the longer segment is to the entire line. Mathematically, these ratios are such that the longer segment is 1.618054 times the length of the shorter segment, while the shorter is 0.618054 times the longer. These are remarkable numbers. Not only are the figures after the decimal point identical in both, but each is the reciprocal of the other (that is, the number 1 divided by either yields the other). These are the only two numbers that demonstrate this property. Unlike pi, another fundamental constant in which the decimals extend to infinity (3.14159. . .), these factors are exact after the first six decimals.

    Article #720 by Larry Gedney This article is provided as a public service by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, in cooperation with the UAF research community. Larry Gedney is a seismologist at the Institute. Daisy head reveals two sets of opposing spirals formed by individual florets. The clockwise spiral contains 21 arms; the counter-clockwise spiral contains 34. These are two adjacent numbers in the Fibonacci series. Seldom has an article appearing in this space generated the volume of reader response as did last month's column on the Golden Ratio. The interest shown seems to justify a sequel. To recapitulate briefly, the Golden Ratio consists of the two numbers 1.618034 and 0.618034, each of which is the reciprocal of the other. Rectangles with sides proportioned 0.618034 to 1 (or 1 to 1.618034) are often the shape taken by such commonplace items as picture frames and playing cards. Thus, the shape seems to be subliminally pleasing to the human eye, as witnessed by the many ways in which it is used in art and in construction. It is also found in nature, reflected in essentially every spiral form from a snail shell to the arms of a galaxy. The earlier column told only half the story of the Golden Ratio, however. Historically, credit for recognition of the peculiar mathematical properties of this ratio must go to a 13th century Italian known as Fibonacci. The "Fi" part of his name meant "son of." The Bonacci part meant "simpleton."
