The Golden Sequence

The Golden Sequence, often associated with the Golden Ratio, is a special mathematical pattern where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones (like 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8...). As the sequence progresses, the ratio of consecutive numbers approaches approximately 1.618, known as the Golden Ratio. This ratio appears in various natural forms—like the arrangement of leaves, flower petals, and shells—and has been used in art and architecture to create aesthetically pleasing proportions. The sequence exemplifies how mathematics underpins patterns and structures in the natural world.
