Lesson 1 Patterns in Nature (Fibonacci)

The document discusses the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio, and how they appear frequently in nature. It provides background on Fibonacci and how the sequence is defined by adding the two previous numbers. It then explains how the ratios of consecutive Fibonacci numbers approach the Golden Ratio, an irrational number approximately equal to 1.618, as the numbers grow larger. The summary also notes that many structures in nature, including patterns of rabbits breeding and proportions of the human body, exhibit the Golden Ratio, and that it was incorporated into art and architecture by ancient civilizations who found it aesthetically pleasing.

Fibonacci Sequence
What is the Fibonacci Sequence?
• In mathematics, the Fibonacci Numbers are the numbers in the
following integer sequence, called the Fibonacci sequence, and
characterized by the fact that every number after the first two is the
sum of the two preceding ones

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 …


Leonardo of Pisa (Fibonacci)
• The Fibonacci sequence is named after
Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa,
known as Fibonacci. Although the
sequence had been described earlier by
Indian mathematicians by studying
Sanskrit Prosody.

The Golden Ratio
• The relationship of the Fibonacci Sequence to the Golden Ratio lies
not in the actual numbers of the sequence, but in the ratio of the
consecutive numbers.

• By dividing the larger number by the smaller number that fall


consecutively in the series, we will find the ratios of these numbers

• An irrational number: it has an infinite number of decimal places and
it never repeats itself. Generally, we round the Golden Ratio to 1.618

Why is The Fibonacci Sequence and The Golden Ratio Important?

• In civilizations as far back and as far apart as the Ancient Egyptians,


the Mayans, as well as the Greeks discovered the Golden Ratio and
incorporated it into their own art, architecture, and designs. They
discovered that the Golden Ratio seems to be Nature's perfect
number. For some reason, it just seems to appeal to our natural
instincts.

•The Proportions in the Body
•The white line is the body's height.
•The blue line, a golden section of the white line,
defines the distance from the head to the finger tips
•The yellow line, a golden section of the blue line,
defines the distance from the head to the navel and
the elbows.
•The green line, a golden section of the yellow line,
defines the distance from the head to the pectorals
and inside top of the arms, the width of the shoulders,
the length of the forearm and the shin bone.
•The magenta line, a golden section of the green line,
defines the distance from the head to the base of the
skull and the width of the abdomen. The sectioned
portions of the magenta line determine the position of
the nose and the hairline.
