A POEM ON MATHEMATICAL INDUCTION
you want to prove a theorem then,
prove it for every integer n,
you prove it first for n equal to one,
and then the induction begun,
the proof goes in the following way,
you assume it next for n equal to k,
if you can show it for n equal to k+1,

GOLDEN RECTANGLE

A golden rectangle is one whose side lengths are in the  golden ratio ,  , which is   (the Greek letter  phi ), where   is approximately 1.618. A distinctive feature of this shape is that when a  square  section is removed, the remainder is another golden  rectangle ; that is, with the same  aspect ratio  as the first. Square removal can be repeated infinitely, in which case corresponding corners of the squares form an infinite sequence of points on the  golden spiral , the unique  logarithmic spiral  with this property. According to astrophysicist and mathematics popularizer  Mario Livio , since the publication of  Luca Pacioli 's Divina Proportione in 1509,  when "with Pacioli's book, the Golden Ratio started to become available to artists in theoretical treatises that were not overly mathematical, that they could actually use,"  many artists and architects have bee...
