The Fibonacci Sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55… (a series of numbers where a number is the addition of the last two numbers, starting with 0, and 1)
Written as a rule, the expression is: Xn = Xn-1 + Xn-2
If you divide each number in the sequence by its predecessor (except for 1 divided by 0), then as you move toward higher numbers, the result converges on the constant phi, or approximately 1.61803, otherwise known as the golden ratio.
The golden ratio, meanwhile, can be written as one-half of the sum of 1 plus the square root of 5. (READ MORE)
