The Golden Ratio

Paper Summary:

The paper explains that few mathematical figures have achieved the status that the Golden Ratio has throughout the historical past and well into the modern and post-modern era. The paper discusses how the Golden Ratio (GR) has also been termed the Golden Mean or the Divine Proportion because of its seemingly endless recurrence in nature as well as its perpetual application not only by mathematicians but by artists and architects alike, as well as others (Clawson b. 33). The paper explains that artists and architects seem to enjoy the predictability of the GR as well as its symmetry.

From the Paper:

"The GR has been attributed to the Greeks whose quest for knowledge, 0x01 graphic as employed by the Greeks as being representative of the GR in many respects where, "Golden Means. F = AB/BC = CH/BC = IC/HI = 2DE/EF = EG/2DE" (Clawson a. 121). In this respect the GR has also been related to other unique and fascinating mathematical principles."
