We watched
this video in class today, and here is what I learned:
- Golden ratio:
Is the mathematical
representation of beauty.
All parts have the same dimensions.
The Greeks
were obsessed with it, you can see it in the Parthenon, other buildings and in
their sculptures. The rest of the world also adopted this afterwards, example:
Notredam, Renaissance painters.
- Everything in nature has a mathematical sense:
Flowers =
pentagons.
Shells =
spirals.
Games
(chess) (billards) = calculated strategy, geometrical board, mathematical
moves.
Fields
(baseball) (football) (basketball) = geometrical shape.
- Here are a couple of nice quotes from the video:
“Everything
is made according to mathematical number and shape” – Pythagoras
“Only in
the mind we can conceive infinity”.
“Each
discovery leads to many others, it is a chain.”
“Mathematics
is that alphabet with which God has written the universe”. -Galileo
