Mathematics The Golden Ratio
The golden ratio (approximately 1.618) appears throughout nature, art, and architecture. Also called phi (φ), it's found in spiral shells, sunflower seeds, and the proportions of the human face. Many Renaissance artists deliberately used this ratio in their compositions for aesthetic harmony.
💡 Did you know?
The golden ratio is related to Fibonacci numbers - divide any Fibonacci number by the previous one and you approach phi!
