Fibonacci in Nature The Fibonacci numbers play a significant role in nature and in art and architecture. We will first use the rectangle to lead us to some interesting applications in these areas. We will construct a set of rectangles using the Fibonacci numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34 which will lead us to a design found in nature. You will need a ruler, protractor, and compass. Start by drawing two, unit squares (0.5 cm is suggested) side by side. Your construction will look like this: Now, with your compass, starting in the unit squares, construct in each square an arc of a circle with a radius the size of the edge of each respective square (Your arcs will be quarter circles.). This spiral construction closely approximates the spiral of a snail, nautilus, and other sea shells. We will next consider the use by architects and artists throughout history of the "Golden Ratio" and other geometric shapes based upon these ratios. Graphics courtesy of Dr.

This seems to be me exactly. Always wanting to be in the lime light and entertaining. I dont really care about my feelings and I find that I try to be happy all the time. I think people take their feelings to seriously and just need to chill sometimes. Drama queens piss me off. I would say that my thinking would be a little bit higher because I like to think and plan what I have to do for school and college and work but then again my weekends are full of improvising when I'm looking for something to do. As for my judgement. It must be alright because I havent been to jail yet.. All in all I would say this personality test is pretty acurate and I enjoyed it. by saucedupfool Apr 16
