Read This: The Golden Section
Read This! The MAA Online book review column review of The golden Section, by Hans Walser.
http://www.maa.org/reviews/golden.html

Extractions: by Hans Walser In the first sentence of his Foreword, the author says, "The Golden Section has turned up, since antiquity, in many aspects of geometry, architecture, music, art, and even philosophy." Before getting around to what is in his book I want to comment on this. It might be misleading. As most readers of MAA Online know, the golden section is that which results when a line segment is divided into two pieces such that the ratio of the whole to the larger is the same as the ratio of the larger to the smaller. That is, if the segment has length 1 (which it may as well) and the larger piece has length x , then 1/ x x x). This gives x = .618033988. The reciprocal of this, 1.618033988 , has been denoted by a variety of symbols, but I think is the most common and the one I will use. Professor Walser prefers t , which is also fine, and lets r denote - 1. The number has many properties, including

Lambrou Golden Ratio The golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion, golden mean, or golden section, is a number often encountered when taking the ratios of distances in simple geometric figures such as the pentagram decagon and dodecagon . It is denoted , or sometimes (which is an abbreviation of the Greek "tome," meaning "to cut"). The term "golden section" ( goldene Schnitt ) seems to first have been used by Martin Ohm in the 1835 2nd edition of his textbook Die Reine Elementar-Mathematik (Livio 2002, p. 6). The first known use of this term in English is in James Sulley's 1875 article on aesthetics in the 9th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. The symbol ("phi") was apparently first used by Mark Barr at the beginning of the 20th century in commemoration of the Greek sculptor Phidias (ca. 490-430 BC), who a number of art historians claim made extensive use of the golden ratio in his works (Livio 2002, pp. 5-6). has surprising connections with continued fractions and the Euclidean algorithm for computing the greatest common divisor of two integers . It is also a so-called Pisot Number Given a rectangle having sides in the ratio is defined such that partitioning the original

Extractions: Space is naturally curved; people were never meant to be boxed in." Jocelyn Eastland, Graduate Architect Observe the gentle curves of nature. They are based on a mathematical proportion called the Golden Mean. The Golden Mean goes on forever and ever. The whole universe is based on that mathematical proportion . . . your body, the fish, the trees, the galaxy, tornadoes and the flow of wind and water... Sacred Geometry and the Archdome The Archdome is built using sacred geometric proportion, better known as the Golden Mean proportion. In mathematical terms, the Golden Mean is a ratio of the irrational number .618.... : 1 or 1 : 1.618..... This means that if you constructed a rectangle (or a wall) to Golden Mean proportions, its sides would be in a ratio of 1 (foot, yard, inch whatever) to 1.618... times that. For example: If a wall was 10 feet in height, to be in Golden Mean proportion its length would have to be either 16.18 or 6.18 feet. Now 1.618033988875.... is an irrational number which goes on forever and ever and ever. So what happens when you build a wall using this endless Golden Mean ratio of proportion? Well the wall is (supposedly) a finite structure. However, when it is built using this proportion, a dynamic is created, and the dynamic is this: The wall, as the physical representation of the Golden Mean ratio, is a continuum that approaches the Infinite, but never reaches it: It approaches perfect balance, the Ideal, but can never capture it. The dynamic essence of any structure using this proportion, is endless motion towards perfection.

The ball is soft and air filled and the game is played a bit like polo. Its a desperate fight to grab the ball in the racket and hurl it to a team mate who can then drive it through the goal posts.

The field has no fences around it so to get the good shots I had to stand on the edges and shoot as galloping horses headed straight for me. On one occasion I had two horses locked together in a tustle galloping at me straight over the boundry line and only saw my lens up their snouts at the last instant....however due to the amazing skill of these ponies one went a foot to the left of me and the other a foot to my right.... and no that particular shot was blurred... The day also proved testing for my equipment as it was summer and the field was throwing up choking white dust that no only tricked the camera exposure, hid the subject till the last minute but covered my camera. There were flies dust, sweat and heat all day......would I do it again....yep....

Extractions: Since antiquity, the Golden Section has played a significant role in many parts of geometry, architecture, music, art, and philosophy. But it also appears in the newer domains of technology and fractals. In t his way, the Golden Section is no isolated phenomenon but rather, in many cases, the first and also the simplest non-trivial example in a sequence of generalizations leading to further developments. It is the purpose of this book, on the one hand, to describe examples of the Golden Section, and on the other, to show some paths to further extensions. read more

Extractions: G olden Mean or Golden Section golden mean or golden section - A proportional relation ( ratio ) obtained by dividing a line so that the shorter part is to the longer part as the longer part is to the whole. Another way to describe this: a proportion between the two dimensions of a plane figure or the two divisions of a line, in which the ratio of the smaller to the larger is the same as the ratio of the larger to the whole: a ratio of approximately 0.618 to 1.0 The Golden Mean produces a harmonic effect called eurythmy found in nature as well as in a wide variety of works of art and design Artists of various periods and cultures have found that dimensions determined by this formula are aesthetically appealing. Other images of the Golden Mean: The Parthenon , Athens, superimposed with a diagram demonstrating the use of the Golden Mean in the Parthenon's design. See architecture and Greek art Architect Charles E. Jeanneret, known as "Le Corbusier" (French, 1887-1965), often used golden rectangles in his designs for buildings. One of these is the United Nations building in New York. The upright part of the L has sides in the golden ratio, and there are distinctive marks on this taller part which divide the

A golden rectangle is a rectangle with dimensions which are of the Golden Ratio side s of the same proportions when sectioned in a particular manner. That is, sectioned into two shapes : firstly a square with one side being one of the lesser sides of the surrounding golden rectangle ; and secondly a rectangle composed of the remainder . The new, smaller rectangle is thus a golden rectangle itself, and one of its longer sides will be the other lesser side of the surrounding rectangle, the other being one of the sides of the new square.

Extractions: The Golden Mean (or Golden Section), represented by the Greek letter phi , is one of those mysterious natural numbers, like e or pi , that seem to arise out of the basic structure of our cosmos. Unlike those abstract numbers, however, phi appears clearly and regularly in the realm of things that grow and unfold in steps, and that includes living things.
