Frank Curkovic on 19 Aug 09There's a mathematical ratio commonly found in nature-the ratio of 1 to 1.618-that has many names. Most often we call it the Golden Section, Golden Ratio, or Golden Mean, but it's also occasionally referred to as the Golden Number, Divine Proportion, Golden Proportion, Fibonacci Number, and Phi. You'll usually find the golden ratio depicted as a single large rectangle formed by a square and another rectangle. What's unique about this is that you can repeat the sequence infinitely and perfectly within each section.
