The Fibonacci Sequence The Fibonacci sequence is possibly the most simple recurrence relation occurring in nature.

Understanding the Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio

It is 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89, 144… each number equals the sum of the two numbers before it, and the difference of the two numbers succeeding it. It is an infinite sequence which goes on forever as it develops. The Golden Ratio/Divine Ratio or Golden Mean - The quotient of any Fibonacci number and it’s predecessor approaches Phi, represented as ϕ (1.618), the Golden ratio. This iteration can continue both ways, infinitely. The Golden Ratio can be applied to any number of geometric forms including circles, triangles, pyramids, prisms, and polygons.

If you graph any number system, eventually patterns appear. Our universe and the numbers not only go on infinitely linear, but even it’s short segments have infinite points. The golden ratio is not the only mathematical pattern that reaches infinity, there are many other patterns as well that reach infinity.
