Golden Ratio

The Golden Ratio, often represented by the Greek letter phi (φ), approximately equals 1.618. It arises when a line is divided into two parts, where the longer part divided by the shorter part equals the whole line divided by the longer part. This ratio is found in nature, art, and architecture, symbolizing beauty and harmony. Famous examples include the Parthenon, the Mona Lisa, and patterns in plants and shells. The Golden Ratio has intrigued mathematicians, artists, and philosophers for centuries, serving as a standard of aesthetic proportion and balance.
