The Golden Mean in Anatomy The Golden Mean is a mysterious number that has been found in plants, humans, art and even architecture. It was first discovered and studied by ancient mathematicians in Egypt a very long time ago. In the study of mathematics one realizes that many patterns often occur. None have been more relevant or fascinating that the golden ratio. The golden ratio has many names and is often referred to as the golden section, golden mean, golden proportion and golden cut. The golden
Fibonacci Sequence is the Golden Ratio which is typically used when discussing the ratio of distances (wolfram alpha). The ratio is approximately 1.6180. It is found by this formula φ= (1+√5)/2≈1.61803 . The ratio has been surrounded by mystery since the time of the ancient Greeks. Many scholars look at the Parthenon statues (built by Phidias, from 490-430 BC) and believe that they were built using the Golden Ratio. Euclid, during his lifetime, became the first to define this ratio. He defined it as “extreme
My infatuation in fractals began freshmen year at Greeley after taking a Seminar with one of the seniors. I’m not sure exactly when simple interest turned to a kind of obsession, but during that lesson something seemed to click. It seemed as if this was the universe’s answer to everything; the mystery was solved, however complex the answer was to understand. I’m still not sure if I was misunderstanding the lesson, or if I had somehow seen it for what it really was; a pattern to describe the way
The following report will be discussing the implementation of ‘Golden rules’ in the practitioner’s setting to help manage and support the behaviour of children aged three to five years old. The need for this implementation was discovered through a SWOT analysis the practitioner conducted keeping in focus the safety of the children. A Swot analysis is a tool used to identify an organisation or settings strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (ODI, 2009). The strengths and weaknesses are related
proportions off the philosopher, Pythagoras of Samos. Pythagoras idea is that the ratio; 1:1.61803 equals the most pleasing rectangular proportions and these proportions can be used to make perfect objects. Known as Phi (Golden Ratio), this ratio is seen in many instances of the Parthenon; the tops of the columns and base of the roofline are in a similar golden ratio proportion to the height of the Parthenon. Taking advantage of architectural advancements the Greeks could play with size and shape
Klay Thompson has averaged a meager 14.4 points per game on 38% shooting. Averaging 2.2 trips to the free throw line a game and making only 81% of those attempts, Thompson has not been aggressive or efficient enough. His 2:1.7 assist to turnover ratio is rather neutral, showing no comparative edge in efficiency in that regard. Aside from the numbers, Klay just has not been Klay. Being relegated to the third option on offense has taken a toll on his play, as perhaps his confidence and comfort level
basically says that if you divide any screen (television/movie/computer/smartphone) into a grid of equal thirds, the eye is naturally attracted to the 4 points on the grid where those lines intersect (this rectangle is commonly referred to as The Golden Section). Look familiar? It should: if you’ve ever turned on the “Grid” function on your iPhone camera, then you’ve been using The Rule of Thirds for years. So, try using this grid when choosing an image (most photo-editing software programs have something

companies must disclose CEO compensation and the ratio between said CEO and the average salaried employees. This was implemented in October of 2010, signed into effect by President Barrack Obama. Section 953 specifically states companies must disclose information surrounding pay-for-performance and the difference between the CEO’s salary and median salary for all other employees (Dodd & Frank, 2010). While a previous source stated the pay ratio falls to below 4:1, this statistic doesn’t include
consists of two parts, the fillings mixture and the wrappings or skins. By taking specific steps, we can make a bowl of traditional Chinese dumplings. The first and most important step of making dumplings is to produce the wrappings or skins of dumplings. The wrappings are mixture of water and flours. In a bowl, put the water into the flours, and knead it by hand to form the mixture into smooth dough. The mixture ratio of water and flours are one to four. Because if put more water into the mixture
