The Glorious Golden Ratio

"The Glorious Golden Ratio is a delight---an inviting and highly accessible exploration of the beauty and enchantment of mathematics, full of intrigue and surprises."

"The authors very cleverly present this most ubiquitous mathematical conceptone that demonstrates the true beauty of mathematics---with the intent of motivating the reader to a greater appreciation for mathematics. The book will show the reader the recreational side of mathematics as well!"

"Posamentier and Lehmann have written an interesting and useful book on the golden ratio, which contains historical comments and many examples where it occurs not only in two- and three-dimensional geometry but also in nature. ... I learned about uses that surprised me."

"The term golden comes from the belief that dimensions (of almost everything) in the golden ratio are the most pleasing to the eye. We can see that, we can feel that, we talk about it knowingly and unknowingly. This book, in a fascinaling fashion, highlights the beauty that the golden ratio brings to mathematics (and beyond) so that we get a better appreciation of mathematics. The more math-oriented reader as well as the lay reader will revel in the joys of these math gems! Most joyful reading!"
