    Extractions: Most people are familiar with the number Pi, since it is one of the most ubiquitous irrational numbers known to man. But, there is another irrational number that has the same propensity for popping up and is not as well known as Pi. This wonderful number is Phi, and it has a tendency to turn up in a great number of places, a few of which will be discussed in this essay. One way to find Phi is to consider the solutions to the equation When solving this equation we find that the roots are x = ~ 1.618... or x= We consider the first root to be Phi. We can also express Phi by the following two series. Phi = or Phi = We can use a spreadsheet to see that these two series do approximate the value of Phi. Or, we can show that the limit of the infinite series equals Phi in a more concrete way. For example, let x be equal to the infinte series of square roots. But this leads to the equation which in turn leads to and this has Phi as one of its roots. Similarly, it can be shown that the limit of the series with fractions is Phi as well. When finding the limit of the fractional series, we can take a side trip and see that Phi is the only number that when one is subtracted from it results in the reciprocal of the number. Phi can also be found in many geometrical shapes, but instead of representing it as an irrational number, we can express it in the following way. Given a line segment, we can divide it into two segments A and B, in such a way that the length of the entire segment is to the length of the segment A as the length of segment A is to the length of segment B. If we calculate these ratios, we see that we get an approximation of the Golden Ratio.

    Extractions: The ratio, called the Golden Ratio, is the ratio of the length to the width of what is said to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing rectangular shapes. This rectangle, called the Golden Rectangle, appears in nature and is used by humans in both art and architecture. The Golden Ratio can be noticed in the way trees grow, in the proportions of both human and animal bodies, and in the frequency of rabbit births. The ratio is close to 1.618. Whoever first discovered these intriguing manifestations of geometry in nature must have been very excited about the discovery.

27. Deep Secrets
    A new theory that uses diagrammatic geometry to reveal a possible connection between the Great Pyramid, the golden ratio and the ancient Egyptian Royal Cubit.  
    http://www.sover.net/~rc/deep_secrets/
    
    Extractions: This site provides a new, and perhaps for some a controversial, explanation for the rationale behind the exterior and interior design parameters of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Learn here the historical significance of both the "golden ratio" and the equal-sided pentagon (and pentagram); a new theory for the derivation of the ancient Egyptian Royal Cubit; a diagrammatic method by which the square root of any number can be derived; how to diagrammatically derive a trigonometric table; a relatively easy to follow presentation of Euclid's derivation of the 36 angle ; and now a newly added section detailing the derivation diagrams for the interior design parameters of the Red, Bent, Khafre, and Great Pyramids. Introduction As one delves into the exterior design details of the Great Pyramid, two striking numerical correlations emerge from the data, and they compel the serious student either to explain these correlations as being nothing more than coincidence or to deal with their implications. These findings are: 1) that the pyramid's cross-section, as defined by its slant height of 611.5 feet divided by one half the length of a side (= 377

29. The Golden Ratio
    This ratio was named the golden ratio by the Greeks. In the world of mathematics, Phidias widely used the golden ratio in his works of sculpture.  
    http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/~demo5337/s97b/art.htm
    
    Extractions: 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. This ratio was named the golden ratio by the Greeks. In the world of mathematics, the numeric value is called "phi", named for the Greek sculptor Phidias. The space between the collumns form golden rectangles. There are golden rectangles throughout this structure which is found in Athens, Greece. He sculpted many things including the bands of sculpture that run above the columns of the Parthenon. You can take a slide show visit to the Parthenon which is pictured above. Phidias widely used the golden ratio in his works of sculpture. The exterior dimensions of the Parthenon in Athens, built in about 440BC, form a perfect golden rectangle. How many examples of golden rectangles can you find in the below floorplan of the Parthenon? You may want to print the diagram and measure the distances using a ruler. Following are more examples of art and architecture which have employed the golden rectangle. This first example of the Great Pyramid of Giza is believed to be 4,600 years old, which was long before the Greeks. Its dimensions are also based on the Golden Ratio. The website about the pyramid gives very extensive details on this.

    Extractions: 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.

    The golden ratio/Golden Mean, the Golden Rectangle, and the relation between the Fibonacci Sequence and the golden ratio.

    Extractions: A Golden Rectangle is a rectangle in which the ratio of the length to the width is the Golden Ratio. In other words, if one side of a Golden Rectangle is 2 ft. long, the other side will be approximately equal to Now that you know a little about the Golden Ratio and the Golden Rectangle, let's look a little deeper. Take a line segment and label its two endpoints A and C. Now put a point B between A and C so that the ratio of the short part of the segment (AB) to the long part (BC) equals the ratio of the long part (BC) to the entire segment (AC): The ratio of the lengths of the two parts of this segment is the Golden Ratio. In an equation, we have

    The base angle of the largest trinalges of most representations of Sri Yantra are about 52 degrees, close to the base angle of the Great Pyrmaid of Cheops, which is 51deg50'. With such a base angle, the ratio of the hypotenuse to half the base is phi, the golden ratio.

    Extractions: The base angle of the largest trinalges of most representations of Sri Yantra are about 52 degrees, close to the base angle of the Great Pyrmaid of Cheops , which is 51deg50'. With such a base angle, the ratio of the hypotenuse to half the base is phi, the Golden Ratio The design was investigated with the largest two triangles having this base angle. The construction continues similar to the 7x7 grid method. The result is striking, for apart from the fact that the error (at Z and W) is not noticeable, the overall shape is very simlar to examples from the literature . The error is only .3616% of length of the diameter. A small change in base angle results in large error - a 53 degree angle has an error of 9.125%! 1. Draw a rectangle of 2 x 1 units (ABCD) for construction of the large pyramid- angled triangles on base DC. The centre of DC is E. 2. Draw the diaganol DB. It's length is sqr-root 5, by Pythagoras. 3. Draw a circle of radius one centered at point B. Extend the diagonal. 4. Bisect the extended diaganol, creating two line segments of length sqr-root 5 plus 1, divided by 2. This length is phi!
