The Golden Ratio is often denoted by the Greek letter phi:  φ.  Its exact value is 1+5√2 which is approximately equal to 1.618.

In this chapter, we saw how successive quotients of the Fibonacci Numbers get closer and closer to the Golden Ratio:

1/1=1, 2/1=2, 3/2=1.5, 5/3=1.67, 8/5=1.6, 13/8=1.625, 12/13=1.615, …

Many people believe that the Golden Ratio, Golden Rectangles, and the Fibonacci Numbers "appear" in the real world in places such as:

• Art
• Architecture
• Nature

Please research at least one example of such an "appearance" in art, architecture, nature, or someplace else in the real world and post your findings.
