Fibonacci spiral, artwork
Fibonacci spiral. Computer artwork of a spiral within squares whose sides decrease in length by a factor of 0.168. This number (phi) is derived from the golden ratio Phi (1.618). The spiral is formed by drawing a quarter circle in each box. It resembles that seen in nature, such as the shape of a snails shell or the segmentation of a pine cone. The Fibonacci spiral was named after the Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci (1170- 1230), and is also known as an equiangular or logarithmic spiral

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Fibonacci spiral, created through intricate computer artwork. The spiral is composed of squares that gradually decrease in size by a factor of 0.168, derived from the renowned golden ratio Phi (1.618). Each square contains a quarter circle, resulting in an enchanting pattern reminiscent of nature's wonders – be it the elegant shape of a snail's shell or the intricate segmentation found on pine cones. Named after Leonardo Fibonacci, an esteemed Italian mathematician from centuries past, this equiangular or logarithmic spiral exemplifies the harmonious relationship between mathematics and art. It serves as a visual representation of mathematical concepts such as numbers, rectangles, circles, and squares intricately intertwined to form an awe-inspiring composition. The significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its connection to natural phenomena observed throughout our world. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded once again that patterns inspired by mathematics can be found all around us – from seashells washed ashore to the delicate petals of flowers unfolding under sunlight. Let this image serve as a testament to humanity's ceaseless fascination with both science and art; where creativity intertwines with logic to create something truly extraordinary.
