Golden Ratio And Fibonacci Numbers, The

Golden Ratio And Fibonacci Numbers, The by Richard A Dunlap

In this invaluable book, the basic mathematical properties of the golden ratio and its occurrence in the dimensions of two- and three-dimensional figures with fivefold symmetry are discussed. In addition, the generation of the Fibonacci series and generalized Fibonacci series and their relationship to the golden ratio are presented. These concepts are applied to algorithms for searching and function minimization. The Fibonacci sequence is viewed as a one-dimensional aperiodic, lattice and these ideas are extended to two- and three-dimensional Penrose tilings and the concept of incommensurate projections. The structural properties of aperiodic crystals and the growth of certain biological organisms are described in terms of Fibonacci sequences.

Richard A Dunlap graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a BS in Physics, Dartmouth College with an AM in Physics, and Clark University with a PhD in Physics. He is currently employed as a Research Professor at Dalhousie University's Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science. Experimental Physics: Modern Approaches, The Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Numbers, An Introduction to the Physics of Nuclei and Particles, Sustainable Energy, Innovative Microstructures for Solids, Particle Physics, and The Mössbauer Effect are some of his past publications.
