The
Golden Mean
The Golden Mean is derived from the
Fibonacci sequence, where each number in the
sequence is the sum of the two previous numbers. The Golden Mean is found when dividing a
number in the sequence to the number before it. This mean is represented in many forms in nature. A
nautilus shell spirals into smaller and smaller sections, which are approximately the same as the
Golden Mean. The mean is also present in parts of the human body. For example, the length of a
finger bone in the hand is approximately the length of the first two bones in the finger, and the length of your arms from fingertip to fingertip is the same as your height. Many famous works of art like the Mona Lisa and works of architecture like stonehenge display the Golden Mean.
