 FIBONACCI
SEQUENCE
AND
GOLDEN RATIO
 WHO WAS FIBONACCI

 European mathematician 1175-

1250
 Real name Leonardo of Pisa.
 Author of Liber abaci or Book of
the Abacus.
 Remembered today because of
Edouard Lucas
What Is the Fibonacci Sequence
and Why Is It Significant?
 Generalized sequence of first two positive
integers and the next number is the sum of
the previous two, i.e. 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,…
 Hasintrigued mathematicians for
centuries. Shows up unexpectedly in
architecture, science and nature
(sunflowers & pineapples).
Fibonacci Sequence and the
Golden Ratio

A remarkable property of the sequence is

that the ratio between two numbers in the
sequence eventually approaches the
“Golden Ratio” as a limit.
 1/1=1 2/1=2 3/2=1.5 5/3=1.6667
 8/5=1.6 13/8=1.625 21/13=1.6154
 Golden Ratio
. A special number
approximately
equal to
1.61803398…
 Only positive # that
becomes its own
reciprocal by
subtracting 1
 Used extensively by
Ancient Greeks in
architecture
 Golden Ratio Continued
 Ratioalso shows up in
many famous
paintings
 DaVinci studied
extensively the ratio
and body
proportions.
 Summary
 Fibonacci
Sequence has been around for
hundreds of years.
 GoldenRatio has been used for
thousands of years.
 Bothconcepts are still in use today and
continue to interest us.
