    design process. The purpose of this lab is to produce an elastic modulus of a material‚ and a predicted yield strength. Stress and strain data will be produced through tensile testing and cantilever beam testing. For a tensile test‚ two strain gages will be attached to the material to measure the longitudinal strain and transverse stain.

    Compute any number in the Fibonacci Series easily! Here are two ways you can use phi to compute the nth number in the Fibonacci series (fn). If you consider 0 in the Fibonacci series to correspond to n = 0‚ use this formula: fn = Phi n / 5½ Perhaps a better way is to consider 0 in the Fibonacci series to correspond to the 1st Fibonacci number where n = 1 for 0. Then you can use this formula‚ discovered and contributed by Jordan Malachi Dant in April 2005: fn = Phi n / (Phi + 2) Both approaches
