Fibonacci Number and Golden Ratio

The document discusses how the Fibonacci sequence appears throughout nature. Some examples given include the spiral patterns of shells, the arrangement of flower petals and pistils, the branching of leaves and veins, the structure of hurricanes and tornadoes, and proportions of the human body. The Fibonacci sequence is a numerical pattern where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting with 0 and 1. This sequence is found throughout nature producing patterns that some consider aesthetically pleasing.

Fibonacci Sequence in

Nature Kim Lian A162120


Why mathematics is difficult?

★ Math seems difficult because it takes time and energy.


★ Many people don't experience sufficient time to "get" math lessons, and they fall
behind as the teacher moves on.
★ Many move on to study more complex concepts with a shaky foundation.
★ We often end up with a weak structure that is doomed to collapse at some point.
Fibonacci Sequence
★ Fibonacci (real name Leonardo
Bonacci) was a mathematician who
developed the Fibonacci Sequence.
★ The sequence is found by adding the
previous two numbers of the
sequence together.
★ It looks like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,
13, 21, 34... And on it goes. This
pattern can also be seen as:
Golden ratio
★ The Golden Ratio is an irrational number. Generally, we round the Golden Ratio to
1.618.
★ Fibonacci numbers are the whole numbers which express the golden ratio, which
corresponds to the angle which maximises number of items in the smallest space.
★ They associated the number with perfection. It seems to be part of human nature or
instinct for us to find things that contain the Golden Ratio naturally attractive
Shells
★ Shells follow the progressive
proportional increase of the
Fibonacci Sequence.
★ Shells are probably the most famous
example of the sequence because the
lines are very clean and clear to see.
★ They are also fun to collect and
display. And then, there you have it!
You're own little piece of math.
Flower Pistils
★ The part of the flower in the middle of
the petals (the pistil) follows the
Fibonacci Sequence much more
intensely than other pieces of nature,
but the result is an incredible piece of
art.
★ The pattern formed by the curve the
sequence creates used repeatedly
produces a lovely and intricate design.
Flower Petals
★ Flowers of all kinds follow the
pattern, but roses are the best
example of the Fibonacci Sequence.
★ The petals aren't spread out and the
spiral is more obvious and clear, like
with the shell. The petals unfold more
and more and the sequence increases.
Leaves
★ Leaves follow Fibonacci both when
growing off branches and stems and
in their veins.
★ Similar to a tree, leaf veins branch
off more and more in the outward
proportional increments of the
Fibonacci Sequence
Storms
★ Specifically hurricanes and tornadoes,
many storm systems follow the
Fibonacci Sequence.
★ I suppose this is not beautiful, but more
interesting. I guess we could say this
example proves math can be beautiful
and destructive.
You!!!
★ Human are an example of the beauty of
the Fibonacci Sequence.
★ The human body has various
representations of the Fibonacci
Sequence proportions, from your face to
your ear to your hands and beyond!
★ Human have now been proven to be
mathematically gorgeous, so go forth
and be beautiful!
