    This page is a nice fibonacci page and explains the wonderful Golden Ratio, which is built on the Fibonacci series and is the basis for so much of the aesthetic in architecture and other art

  • shreevatsa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You should look at http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/pseudo/fibonacc.htm to understand why most of the big deal that is made about Fibonacci numbers amounts to nothing. Sure, mathematically, they are interesting and have many beautiful and fascinating properties (not to mention cropping up in unexpected places now and then), but the kind of mumbo-jumbo that Dan Brown and his ilk say about the Fibonacci numbers is just absurd.
