3. Fibonacci Numbers The series begins with 0 and 1. Add the last two numbers to get the next. 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987,... A special value, closely related to the Fibonacci series, is called the golden section. This value is obtained by taking the ratio of successive terms in the Fibonacci series:

4. The golden section is normally denoted by the Greek letter phi. In fact, the Greek mathematicians of Plato's time (400BC) recognized it as a significant value and Greek architects used the ratio 1:phi as an integral part of their designs, the most famous of which is the Parthenon in Athens. Phi was not denoted until early 1900’s, by American Mathematician Mark Barr.
