    The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. The ratio between numbers in the Fibonacci sequence approaches the golden ratio of approximately 1.618, and this golden ratio can be seen in the Fibonacci spiral and is used in architecture, art, design, and other applications to achieve visual harmony and proportion. The golden ratio can also be used to calculate any term in the Fibonacci sequence through a mathematical equation.

    Fibonacci Sequence and its Application

    The Fibonacci Sequence

    The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where a number is the addition of


    two numbers that precede it, starting with 0 and 1.

    0 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 + 2 = 5 + 3 = 8 + 5 = 13 + 8 = 21 …

    The Rule

    The Fibonacci Sequence can be written as a “rule“.


    First, the terms are numbered from 0 onwards like this:

    Written as a rule, the equation is:

    xn = x n−1 + x n−2

    For instance: Let n=6;


    x n = x n−1 + x n−2

    x 6 = x 6−1 + x 6−2

    x6 = x5 + x4

    x6 = 5 + 3

    x6 = 8
    The Fibonacci Spiral and the Golden Ratio

    The Fibonacci sequence is often visualized in a graph such as the image below.
    Each of the squares illustrates the area of the next number in the sequence. The
    Fibonacci spiral is then drawn inside the squares by connecting the corners of the
    boxes.
    The squares fit together perfectly because the ratio between the numbers in the
    Fibonacci sequence is very close to the golden ratio, which is approximately
    1.618. The larger the numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, the closer the ratio is to
    the golden ratio.
    The spiral and resulting rectangle are also known as the Golden Spiral and the
    Golden Rectangle.

    The blue rectangle where


    the Golden Spiral is
    The blue line is the
    enclosed in is the Golden
    Fibonacci Spiral or the
    Rectangle
    Golden Spiral.

    Using The Golden Ratio to Calculate Fibonacci Numbers

    What’s even more interesting is that we can calculate any Fibonacci Number using


    the Golden Ratio:

    φn− (1−φ )n
    x n=¿
    √5
    The answer comes out as an approximate of a whole number, exactly equal to the
    addition of the previous two terms.
    For instance, to find x 6 or the 6th term of the Fibonacci sequence, change n to 6 in
    the equation.
    n n
    φ − (1−φ )
    x n=¿
    √5
    φ6 −( 1−φ )6
    x 6=¿
    √5
    6 6
    1.618 −( 1−1.618 )
    x 6=¿
    √5
    x 6=¿ 7.99899683674
    x 6=¿ 8

    The Application of the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio

    Architecture - Many works of art are claimed to have been designed using the
    golden ratio. E.g.: The Parthenon, according to some studies, has many
    proportions that approximate the golden ratio.
    Cosmetic and corrective dentistry - Dentists use the golden ratio during
    corrective surgeries to have a relative proportion between the teeth and to
    assure its natural and pleasing appearance.

    Logos and trademarks - For construction of any kind of design, one can use the
    beauty of the golden ratio to make great composition decisions quickly and easily
    that have an inherent visual harmony that cannot be produced with any other
    ratio.
    The Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio are also applied in:
    - Reconstructive and corrective facial surgery
    - Automotive Designs
    - Photo editing and composition
