ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my teacher sonali durgam on the topic golden ratio, which also helped me in doing a lot of Research and I came to know about so many new things. I am really thankful to her.

Secondly I would also like to thank my parents and friends who helped me a lot in finishing this project’s information finding work.

I am making this project not only for marks but to also increase my knowledge.
THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO HELPED ME
Introduction
The golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion, golden mean, or golden section, is a number often encountered when taking the ratios of distances in simple geometric figures such as the pentagon, pentagram, decagon and dodecahedron. It is denoted , or sometimes .
The designations "phi" (for the golden ratio conjugate ) and "Phi" (for the larger quantity ) are sometimes also used (Knott), although this usage is not necessarily recommended.
The term "golden section" (in German, goldener Schnitt or der goldene Schnitt) seems to first have been used by Martin Ohm in the 1835 2nd edition of his textbook Die Reine Elementar-Mathematik (Livio 2002, p. 6). The first known use of this term in English is in James Sulley's 1875 article on aesthetics in the 9th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. The symbol ("phi") was apparently first used by Mark Barr at the beginning of the 20th century in commemoration of the Greek sculptor Phidias (ca. 490-430 BC), who a number of art historians claim made extensive use of the golden ratio in his works (Livio 2002, pp. 5-6). Similarly, the alternate notation is an abbreviation of the Greek tome, meaning "to cut."

    1:1.618:1 is the Golden Ratio. In nature, this can be seen in bee hives, where the ratio of male bees: female bees is 1:1.618, and in flowers where opposing spirals of seeds, have a 1.618 ratio between the diameters of each rotation (Jarus, 2013). The golden ratio is deemed the most visually appealing ratio; in humans, the ratio between the shoulders to the finger tips to the elbows to the finger tips is approximately 1:1.618, similarly the distance from the head to the feet in comparison to the head to the belly button is also 1:1.618, and distance between the eyes verses the distance between the ears is in a ratio of 1:1.618, and hence this ratio is vital for humans to find those more appealing mates, and ensuring…

    Liber Abaci is a book that Leonardo Fibonacci wrote in 1202. In it Fibonacci introduces the so-called modus Indorum (method of the Indians), today known as the Arabic numerals. It shows the practical importance of the new numeral system, using lattice multiplication and Egyptian fractions, by applying it to commercial bookkeeping, conversion of weights and measures, the calculation of interest, money-changing, and other applications. Liber Abaci also posed, and solved, a problem involving the growth of a hypothetical population of rabbits based on idealized assumptions. The solution, generation by generation, was a sequence of numbers later known as the Fibonacci numbers. In the Fibonacci sequence of numbers, each number after the first two, is the sum of the previous two numbers. The sequence is 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, etc. The higher the sequence, the closer two consecutive numbers of the sequence divided by each other will approach the golden ratio ( approximately 1 : 1. 618 or 0.618 : 1).…

    In conclusion, it is evident that this study has shown what is “Golden Ratio” and “Rule of Third”. Although “Golden Ratio”and “Rule of third”are having some arguments from artists, “Golden Ratio” and “Rule of third”will have more development in the future. In my opinion,“Golden Ratio”and “Rule of thirds” have important value in the world, especially in art.The development of thing is accompanied by arrgument.So the “Golden Ratio” and “Rule of third”will become more complete in the future and the artist may have more theories to demonstrate for “Golden Ratio” and “Rule of…

    Represented mathematically as approximately 1.618033989, and by the Greek letter Phi, the number tends to show up frequently in geometrical shapes. For example, the golden ratio is the basis for the construction of a pentagram. This shape looks like a regular star; five straight lines form a star with five points. The pentagon within the star in the center is proportional to the points of the star by a ratio of 1: 1.618.…

    The Golden Ratio is a term (with an astounding number of aliases, including Golden Section and Golden Mean) used to describe aesthetically pleasing proportioning within a piece. However, it is not merely a term -- it is an actual ratio. The Golden ratio is a special number found by dividing a line into two parts so that the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided by the longer part. It is often symbolized using phi, after the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet. In an equation form, it looks like this: a/b = (a+b)/a = 1.6180339887498948420 ……

    Angle is also used to designate the measure of an angle or of a rotation. This measure is the ratio of the length of a circular arc to its radius. In the case of an angle (figure), the arc is centered at the vertex and delimited by the sides. In the case of a rotation, the arc is centered at the center of the rotation and delimited by any other point and its image by the rotation.…

    Throughout history algebra has changed in words through etymology. Etymology is an account of the history of a particular word or elements of a word. The word “algebra” is derived from Arabic writers. Algebra is a method for finding solutions of equations to the simplest possible form. Different cultures have come up with different types of names to classify algebra. Al Khwarizmi and Fibonacci contributed talented mathematic systems that shaped algebra.…

    The area of study known as the history of mathematics is primarily an investigation into the origin of discoveries in mathematics and, to a lesser extent, an investigation into the mathematical methods and notation of the past. Before the modern age and the worldwide spread of knowledge, written examples of new mathematical developments have come to light only in a few locales. The most ancient mathematical texts available are Plimpton 322 (Babylonian mathematics c. 1900 BC), the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics c. 2000-1800 BC) and the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics c. 1890 BC). All of these texts concern the so-called Pythagorean theorem, which seems to be the most ancient and widespread mathematical development after basic arithmetic and geometry.…
