Fibonacci spiral and Phi, artwork
Fibonacci spiral and Phi, computer artwork. The constant Phi, written to 866 decimal places, is calculated as (1 + square root of five, divided by 2). Also seen is a spiral within squares whose sides decrease in length by a factor of 0.168. This number (phi) is derived from the golden ratio Phi (1.618). The spiral is formed by drawing a quarter circle in each box. It resembles that seen in nature, such as the shape of a snails shell or the segmentation of a pine cone. The Fibonacci spiral was named after the Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci (1170- 1230), and is also known as an equiangular or logarithmic spiral

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Fibonacci spiral and Phi, depicted through intricate computer artwork. The constant Phi, meticulously calculated to an astonishing 866 decimal places, is derived from the renowned golden ratio Phi (1.618). In this artwork, we witness a spiral gracefully emerging within squares that gradually diminish in size by a factor of 0.168. The striking resemblance between this mathematical masterpiece and patterns found in nature cannot be overlooked. From the elegant curvature of a snail's shell to the fascinating segmentation of a pine cone, this Fibonacci spiral mirrors these organic formations flawlessly. Named after Leonardo Fibonacci, an esteemed Italian mathematician who lived during the 12th and 13th centuries, this equiangular or logarithmic spiral has captivated scholars for centuries. Its harmonious composition consists of quarter circles elegantly drawn within each box. Through its precise depiction of numbers, symbols, illustrations, spirals, squares, rectangles and circles intertwined with mathematical precision; this artwork serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with mathematics and its intrinsic connection to our natural world. Expertly crafted by Seymour Yang and brought to life through computer artistry; this image celebrates not only the brilliance behind mathematical concepts but also their aesthetic allure. It invites us into a realm where science meets art seamlessly while showcasing the timeless elegance hidden within numerical patterns.
