The Fibonacci Sequence a recursive arithmetic sequence.
The Fibonacci SequenceThis pattern continues and follows the rule:
xn = xn-1 + xn-2
xn is term number "n"xn-1 is the previous term (n-1)xn-2 is the term before that (n-2)

The “Magic” of Fibonacci Numbers
Understanding the Spiral
1. Draw a 1x1 square
2. Add another 1x1 square
3. Add 2x2 square
4. Add 3x3 square
5. Add 5x5 square
6. Add 8x8 square
7. And so on… For more on this visit: http://www.goldennumber.net/spirals/
Arcs drawn through each square connect to make a spiral
Seeing Spirals…
Taking a closer look at Nature

Count those spirals…
Fibonacci Numbers!!!
Let’s do it again…
Doodling in Math Class teaches us….
The Fibonacci Sequence leads us to the Golden Ratio
Exploring the Golden Ratio
This animation is located at: http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/nature-golden-ratio-fibonacci.html
What is the Golden Ratio?The ratio between successive Fibonacci Numbers will eventually give you the Golden Ratio:
A B B / A
1 1 1
1 2 2
2 3 1.5
3 5 1.666666666...
5 8 1.6
8 13 1.625
13 21 1.615384615...
... ... ...
144 233 1.618055556...
233 377 1.618025751...
The importance of Phi Φ
If the longer segment divided by the smaller segment is also equal to the whole length divided by the longer part then you will have the golden ratio.
The Golden Rectangle
Experiment with the golden ratio at http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/golden-ratio.html
Golden Rectangle and the Mona Lisa?
The Golden Ratio is considered to be pleasing to the eye and can be found in art, architecture and music.
The Divine Proportion of the Human Body
Math is Beautiful
The Golden Ratio can be applied to the human face to determine beauty.
Math of Beauty Interactive
According to the Golden Ratio, Jessica Simpson is considered beautiful!
