Script Fibonacci and Golden Ratio

The document discusses the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio, and how they appear in nature. It defines the Fibonacci sequence as a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting from 0 and 1. The golden ratio is approximately 1.618 and can be calculated using the Fibonacci sequence. Examples given of how these patterns appear in nature include the number of petals on flowers and the spiral pattern of seeds on sunflowers and shells.

(Intro Video: Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio in Nature, Pictures.

Good day everyone! I am Jenilyn C. Esposo from Obtec Nl 2. Today we will discuss the Fibonacci
Sequence and The Golden ratio found in Nature. But before that, let's have a simple recap.

Fibonacci Sequence was discovered by an Italian Mathematician, Leonardo Pisano Bogollo better known
by his nickname Fibonacci meaning "Son of Bonacci". It was the outcome of his study about the rabbit
breeding mathematical problem. Fibonacci Sequence is a series of numbers in which a given number is
the result of adding the two preceeding numbers starting from 0 and 1.

Fibonacci Numbers can be determined through a formula:

Fn=Fn-1 + Fn-2 , for n> or equal to 2 and

F1=F2 = 1, which means that both of them are equal to one.

Where, Fn-1 - is the term before Fn

Fn-2 – is the term before Fn-1

Therefore, the Fibonacci numbers in the Sequence are 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and so on.

The Fibonacci Sequence and the golden ratio are intimately interconnected. ... Any two successive
Fibonacci numbers have a ratio very close to the Golden Ratio, which is roughly 1.618034.

. in mathematics, the irrational number (1 + Square root of√5)/2,


often denoted by the Greek letter ϕ or τ, which is equivalent to

Golden ratio is
Golden Ratio, represented by the Greek letter “phi” is also known as Golden Mean,
Golden Section and Divine proportion because of its frequency in the natural world .

The Golden ratio can be obtained by the formula:

A over B is equals to A + B/ A = approximately 1.618

Where, A has a greater value than B.

It's the ratio of a line segment broken into two portions of various lengths so that the whole segment to
the longer segment is equal to the longer segment to the shorter segment.

Its value can be obtained by dividing 1 + Square root of 5) to 2, which


is equal to approximately

1.618 as metnoed a while ago.

To further explain the Golden Ratio, we have the ratio 1:1.6

1: 1.6
Now that we have discussed the Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio let us look around and discover
how it is applied. Fibonacci Sequences are everywhere. This may sound crazy, but yes, it is. The
architecture, Nature, and even our body portrays it.. A lot more areas consists of Fibonacci Sequence
and Golden Ratio but since we are focusing on Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio in Nature, then I
will give you some examples.

Since we are talking about Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio in Nature, I will show three
examples of it.

Flowers for example have a numbers of petals that belong to the Fibonacci numbers.

Fibonacci Sequence is present in gumamela because has 1,2,3,4,5 petals.

These are just some of the flowers that have Fibonacci Sequence. There's a lot more. Some flowers
contain 8, 21,34 petals and so on and so forth.

Besides of counting the number of leaves and petals, Constructing several squares using the measure of
a Fibonacci and tracing the diagonals will result in a Fibonacci spiral that approximates the golden ratio.

It can be observed in the formation of hurricanes, waves, galaxy, egg and fingerprints. But for today, I
will use egg as an illustration to Fibonacci Spiral.

Examine the distance from your elbow to your wrist then from wrist then to the tip of the middle finger.

Indeed, There is no art without mathematics.

Have you ever thought that ihere is something like this? Cause I will honestly say that I’m not, But not
until today. The wonders of Mathematics makes us wonder more. Is there something hidden again?
