No. There is no platinum ratio.
No, but the ratio of each term in the Fibonacci sequence to its predecessor converges to the Golden Ratio.
It is not. The Golden Ratio was known and used thousands of years before baseball was invented.
It is used in nature all the time. Buds on plant stalks sprout using the Golden Ratio. When architects use the Golden ratio to design a building , the building looks good, and feels good. The Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece is such a building. Good artist s often unconciously use the Golden Ratio ; the focus of a painting is never in the centre of the canvas, but at the golden ratio. The ratio is 1: 1.618.... or (phi) = (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2 it is an Irrational number. It also goes by the names , Golden Number, Devine Section, God's Number, etc., Have a look in Wikioedia under 'Golden Ratio'.
Because it is an unusual ratio and therefore should be given a different name to differentiate it from other common ratios. Gold is valuable and "Golden" is attributed to that which is attractive. The "Golden Ration" is considered attractive and has many uses.
It occurs in nature.
A great many things have the golden ratio in them varying from things fabricated by humans such as architecture, the proportions of the sides of a book also fall into the golden ratio. The golden ratio also occurs naturally for example the spiral in the snail's shell falls into the golden ratio. Generally most man made things have the golden ratio in them as it has been found quite simply, to look good.
No. The golden ratio appears in plants but not animals. Snail shells may grow in a spiraling (exponential) growth pattern but the golden ratio implies one particular growth rate which nature does not demand of them.
The golden ratio is a pure number and so has no dimensions.The golden ratio is a pure number and so has no dimensions.The golden ratio is a pure number and so has no dimensions.The golden ratio is a pure number and so has no dimensions.
The golden ratio was a mathematical formula for the beauty. The golden ratio in the Parthenon was most tremendous powerful and perfect proportions. Most notable the ratio of height to width on its precise was the golden ratio.
The golden ratio, or golden mean, or phi, is about 1.618033989. The golden ratio is the ratio of two quantities such that the ratio of the sum to the larger is the same as the ratio of the larger to the smaller. If the two quantities are a and b, their ratio is golden if a > b and (a+b)/a = a/b. This ratio is known as phi, with a value of about 1.618033989. Exactly, the ratio is (1 + square root(5))/2.
The golden ratio (or Phi) is a ratio that is very commonly found in nature. For instance, some seashells follow a spiraling path at the golden ratio.
The Golden Ratio is a constant = [1 + sqrt(5)]/2. There is, therefore, no higher or lower Golden Ratio.
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.
No. There is no platinum ratio.
No, but the ratio of each term in the Fibonacci sequence to its predecessor converges to the Golden Ratio.
infinitely many - the golden ratio is an irrational number
