Abstract:
The proposed talk on “The Most Astonishing Number in the world” deals with the amazing properties and applications of the Golden ratio, denoted by the Greek letter φ and numerically equal to 1.618. This number is very much like the ubiquitous p. The importance of this ratio had been discovered by mathematicians of antiquity and thus could find its place in a variety of fields such as architecture, paintings, sculptures, music, statistics, dentistry etc. The manifestations of this number can be seen in nature itself in the form of common flowers, plants, trees, fruits, human body, etc. The lecture proposes to give an overall picture of the importance of this astounding number in our everyday life.
