Golden ratio is often denoted by the Greek letter, usually in lower case, Phi (φ) which is an irrational mathematical constant, approximately 1.6180339887. Because of its unique and interesting properties, many mathematicians as well as renaissance artists and architects studied, documented and employed golden section proportions in remarkable works of sculpture, painting and architecture. Robot sizing especially for the Humanoid Robot, Phi is considered as the key to achieve the human friendly look. The ratio also plays an enigmatic role in the geometry and mathematics. The basic concept of golden ratio and its relation with the geometry are represented and described in this paper. The paper also explains about the structure and construction strategies of various dynamic rectangles by establishing some relations and dependencies with each other. The main contribution of the paper is to study about the validation and substantiation of the Equation of Phi based on classical geometric relations. The technique can be considered as an interesting strategy to prove the Equation of Phi.

In the theory of architecture, there is probably no more hotly debated and controversial issue than the use of the golden section as a tool for governing the proportions of forms and spaces. In this article, the author shows that the work of the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa has its roots in the classical theory of proportions. He examines two drawings by Scarpa, demonstrating their application of harmonic proportions to the museum space and the close ties between it and the art works on display. Unlike Le Corbusier, perhaps the most important modern master to have used the golden section in his designs, Scarpa employs this proportional system in a pragmatic and experimental way, applying it only in places of special importance. This is true of the “small masterpieces” gallery in the Gallerie dell’Accademia and of the Main Lecture Theatre at IUAV, again in Venice. Scarpa thus reveals two important principles of his work: that small size is an essential premise for attempting perfection and, more generally, that the architectural project is a matter of visual perception based on the quest for the “right proportion”.

Background in analysis. In an earlier study (Harper 2007) the direct occurrence of the crux in phi (φ) proportion was observed in a large percentage of two contrasting bodies of Scarlatti sonatas (Essercizi and Cantabile sonatas). In the Sonata in E Major, K. 380-a sonata with distinctive folkloric characteristics-direct occurrence of the crux-phi relationship is also found in exact mathematical proportion in both halves of the sonata. While it is not known if this proportion is deliberately conceived, Scarlatti's structural construct is evidenced in and is the basis of this work. Background in performance. Ten different recorded interpretations (Horowitz, Asperen, Smullyan, Browning, Pletnev, Coleman, Fadini, Li, Lipatti, Gilels) were chosen for comparison in K. 380 with performers on harpsichord, fortepiano, and piano. The digital audio editor Audacity 1.3.3 was used to study the performances. After repeats and extra audio materials being removed, timings ranged from the longest (Horowitz and Asperen) at 3'10"9 to the shortest (Gilels) at 2'31"5. Expressive elements, such as variations in dynamic contrasts and rubati, are clearly discernible. The crux was compared in the ten performances first in real time and then in equalized time using a time-based analytical approach.

In accordance to studies by G.S.Hawkins, the author of this paper continued decoding of ancient monument Stonehenge in Great Britain. The method of decoding by J.-F.Champollion was used with success. The author discovered mathematical code and several images which look like Egyptian hieroglyphs. The author worked out the vocabulary of Stonehenge. It became possible to decode several words and short message with the help of the vocabulary. Mathematical theory of Hydrogen atom and atomic mass (1.0079...) were coded in Stonehenge. A part of message looks like the phrase: "Eternally living Atom". Where Atom (or Atum) is well-known name of Egyptian solar god. Also knowledge of partial differential equations is demonstrated by builders of Stonehenge. The author considers that Stonehenge was distant Egyptian solar temple and ancient center of science and higher education simultaneously. Probably Stonehenge was used for military purposes and for forecasting of results of wars with the help of mathematical modeling too. It explains military power of ancient Egypt. Also the author describes process of building of Stonehenge with the method of hydraulics.

Intentionally or unintentionally, from ages, architects, builders and construction experts have used mathematics as a very basic yet important tool for the soulful purpose of design, execution and finalization of building projects. In the history, architects were mathematicians and also some mathematicians were architect too. Vitruvius was a very well-known architect as well as famous mathematician. Mathematical readings of Pythagoras were later used in building proportions. Well known worker and user of golden ratio Leonardo Da Vinci along with many achievements was an architect too. The approach of this research paper is to come up with findings on importance of mathematics in architecture, as in geometry, from very important site analysis to final design of elevation or façade. Aim of the whole research is to come up with mathematical functions related to mensuration of building construction and Architectural Engineering. This paper is an initial part of the same research.

The design method of Andrea Palladio, the famous Renaissance architect, has yet to be discovered. Although the room dimensions given in his woodcuts are the only data that can be used for this purpose, performing calculations around them only cannot produce any valuable outcome. Instead, to discover Palladio's method, one must focus on the process of the construction, of how workers would have laid out the building.

The proportions of the Golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence associate harmony and beauty and by this reason they are used in design. The paper presents the use of geometrical forms and tilings, created on the base the Golden ratio and Fibonacci numbers, in fashion and textile design. The forms and tilings are the Golden and Fibonacci spirals, the Golden and Fibonacci series tiling with squares, the Golden tiling with triangles, Fibonacci tiling with triangles – Fibonacci Rose, etc. For creation of successful aesthetic fashion and textile design projects these kinds of forms can be used in different combinations and color decisions.

For over 150 years, many people have claimed that the number popularly known as the Golden Section has particularly appealing aesthetic properties when incorporated into the proportions of visual artworks. Although the empirical evidence for these claims has been equivocal, in the 1980s an important mathematical argument seemed to show that many, perhaps nearly all, empirical discoveries of the legendary number in art and nature were probably mathematical artifacts. This article overturns that argument as being, itself, the artifact of an unrealistic assumption.

The numbers in the so-called Fibonacci Sequence express Euclid’s division in extreme and mean ratio (DEMR), popularly known as the Golden Section. Since the manuscript describing the sequence, Fibonacci’s Liber abbaci, was written in 1202 and since Euclid described DEMR c. 300 BCE, many musicologists have naïvely assumed that composers since 1202 consciously used Fibonacci numbers to express the Golden Section. This is historically misguided. For example, although Euclid’s DEMR was widely-published and discussed throughout maths history, Fibonacci's Liber abbaci (1202) was not. After a brief transmission in manuscript form, Liber abbaci was lost until the mid-eighteenth century and forgotten for a further hundred years until Prince Baldassarre Boncompagni rediscovered it and published it in two volumes in 1857 and 1862. Although there were a few sporadic appearances of a numerical expression for DEMR in the 17th and 18th centuries (unrelated to Fibonacci), real interest in the Golden Section and its aesthetic properties was first awakened in the late 19th century with the golden numberism movement. This paper will examine the historical facts and set out clear principles to guide the analyst.

The Primitive Pythagorean Triples are found to be the purest expressions of various Metallic Ratios. Each Metallic Mean is epitomized by one particular Pythagorean Triangle. Also, the Right Angled Triangles are found to be more "Metallic" than the Pentagons, Octagons or any other (n 2 +4)gons. The Primitive Pythagorean Triples, not the regular polygons, are the prototypical forms of all Metallic Means.

The Golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence are used as proportions in design as symbols of beauty and harmony. That symbolism is a result of the strong connections in their mathematical nature. The Golden section is a number, introduced with Greek letter φ, which is found by dividing a line into two parts as the longer part divided by the smaller part is equal as the whole length of longer and smaller parts divided by the longer part. Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where every number is equal to the two numbers before it. An investigation of application of proportions based on the Golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence in the fashion design and pattern making of ladies' clothing is the main aim of the paper. Based on the study it may be concluded that in fashion design and pattern making the Golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence can be used in creation of beautiful and harmonic forms directly or with the help of geometrical figures as: In directly use the Golden and Fibonacci numbers proportions can be in one and the same or different directions. In the application with the help of geometrical shapes the Golden and Fibonacci figures combine proportioning and form creation. The Golden and Fibonacci shapes can be used directly as forms or as frames of forms creation of elements and pieces. Its application can be in different directions and location according the bodice. The Golden section and Fibonacci sequence can combine proportions with other principles of design as symmetry, rhythm, etc. 1. Introduction The proportions are one of the most important design principles. The Golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence are used as proportions in design as symbols of beauty and harmony. That symbolism is a result of the strong connections in their mathematical nature. The Golden section is a number, introduced with Greek letter φ, which is found by dividing a line into two parts as the longer part divided by the smaller part is equal as the whole length of longer and smaller parts divided by the longer part, or a/b = (a+b)/a = 1.61803398874989484… [1] Sometimes the Golden ratio is presented in a turned way in which the number is equal to the division of the smaller by the longer part equal to the division of the longer part by the whole length of the line, or b/a = a/(a+b) = 0.61803398874989484… Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where every number is equal to the two numbers before it, or xn = xn-1 + xn-2. The sequence starts with 0 and 1 and goes 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc. [2] An investigation of application of proportions based on the Golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence in the fashion design and pattern making of ladies' clothing is the main aim of the paper.

The Golden Section is a geometric ratio often touted for its aesthetically perfect proportions and its use as a design blueprint found in both nature and in iconic works of architecture throughout history. The Parthenon is often cited as the prototype par excellence of Golden Section architecture, though such assertions are not supported by empirical studies. Among twentieth century architects it is most commonly associated with Le Corbusier and his Modulor system. However, two of his lesser known contemporaries - Dom Paul Bellot, a Benedictine monk-architect, and Sigurd Lewerentz, an enigmatic Swede - also created works in which the Golden Section was applied, but with adjustments and in combination with other dimensions as part of unified systems of proportion. With much less fanfare, they show how the Golden Section can be applied in brick and mortar, but also reveal the limits of this divine proportion.

Considering the Madonna with the Child by Bartolomeo Vivarini kept in the throne hall of Palazzo Colonna in Rome and examine this for the first time in its entirety, is a very delicate operation today due to the vast bibliography dedicated to the venetian artist. This tempera on wood, signed on the cartouche on the base - 1471 -, shows the artist's "sculptural" intentions to use colors to recreate refined compositions of Venetian gold carpentry, present in other works by him. Until now little considered by critics, the panel brings to light new reflections on the use of gold, which in this case are no longer veterans of the International Gothic but new ideas for perspective and light in two-dimensional works: gold is not only synonymous with the Holy Spirit and Celestial Glory but becomes a technical tool and material that gives shape to the figures.

The special case of the (р+1)th degree algebraic equations of the kind xр+1= xp+1 (р=1, 2, 3, ...) is researched in the present article. For the case р=1, the given equation is reduced to the well-known Golden Proportion equation x2=x+1. These equations are called the golden algebraic equations because the golden p-proportions р, special irrational numbers that follow from Pascal’s triangle, are their roots. There is researched the general properties of the roots of the golden algebraic equations in this article. In particular, formulas are derived for the golden algebraic equations that have degree greater than р+1. There is reason to suppose that algebraic equations derived by the authors in the present article will interest theoretical physicists. For example, these algebraic equations could be found in the research of the energy relationships within the structures of many compounds and physical particles. For the case of butadiene (C4H6), this fact is proved by famous physicist Richard Feynman

Klang ist hörbare Bewegung. Erschallt Klang im Raum und trifft auf dessen Begrenzungen, entsteht Echo: ein hörbarer Vorgang in Verbindung mit räumlicher Vorstellung. Steigert man die Komplexität dieser Vorgänge und lässt aus Klang Musik und aus Raum Architektur werden, so sind weiterhin "Echos" erkennbar, die Klang und Raum, die Musik und Architektur miteinander verbinden. Unsere Arbeit soll einen thematischen Einstieg in die Vielfalt dieser gemeinsamen Punkte vermitteln, mit der Mathematik als Ausgangspunkt. Abschluss stellt eine seh- und hörbare Verknüpfung von Musik und Architektur mit Hilfe des Computers dar, basierend auf der Analyse der Arbeit des Architekten und Komponisten lannis Xenakis.

This research provides more than 35 measurements rules derived from the perspectives of Vitruvian Man and Neufert and their basis of the golden proportion, to build a human body model on computers for the use of multimedia. The measurements are based on 25 proportional rules derived from 15 proportions given by Vitruvian Man and 29 golden proportions in Bauentwurfslehre by Ernst Neufert. Furthermore, the research will suggest two algorithms to calculate the 67 measurements with precision; assuming that the algorithms output will be used as guideline to human body modelers in simulation, gaming, plastic surgery, as well as the world of biometrics or wherever human body measurements and calculations is needed like prosthetic limbs, spatial design, and machine learning of human biometrics. Furthermore, building proportional models creates visual harmony in measurements and visual parity model. Hence, the chapter facilitates and explains for the human modeler the process of human modeling from within an algorithm. This research is an expanded work based on two published conference papers listed in the references section.

Modern natural science requires the development of new mathematical apparatus. The generalized Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci р-numbers (р=0, 1, 2, 3...), which appear in the “diagonal sums” of Pascal’s triangle and are assigned in the recurrent form, are a new mathematical discovery. The purpose of the present article is to derive analytical formulas for the Fibonacci р-numbers. We show that these formulas are similar to the Binet formulas for the classical Fibonacci numbers. Moreover, in this article, there is derived one more class of the recurrent sequences, which is defined to be a generalization of the Lucas numbers (Lucas p-numbers).

This publication deals with the metamorphoses of the Brisbane Victoria Bridge. It includes an Appendix Palladiana where the ideological "matrix" of the Palladian Manifesto Villa "La Rotunda" is said to be the "Tetraktys" (the upper numbers/part of the Pythagorean Lambda). Furthermore the root two rectangle, Serlio's "proportione diagonea", is also said to be at the basis of the Villa's proportionality patterns (see Appendix Palladiana - with figures - Palladian proportionality patterns), "along all axes" (Morgan, 1960), making the masterpiece "triaxially symmetrical", with a section a la "doron" (see Vitruvius and March, 1998), which, according to the author, has given origin to the famous name of the Golden Section (in Italian: Sezione D'Oro - originally allegedly called a "Sezione 'Doron' ").

The field theory of gravitation is developed on the basis of Kepler's third law. A formula with a golden section is obtained under the condition of considering complex solutions as real ones. The article shows the correspondence of the formula with the golden section to tabular data. The exact formula is obtained by considering a three-dimensional space as imaginary with a real plane perpendicular to the observer's attention vector.

This work consists of a preliminary look at the relationship between Phi and the spiral scaling structures that that can be seen in DNA and the cosmos. It is pointed out that fractals have a built in structural self similarity as part of their make-up. The fractal dimension isn't an integer but is a number that has a fractional part. The mathematical properties of Phi are studied in various ways as series and product series. Series expansion of Phi using fractional exponents were determined in several ways in an attempt to determine the difficulty in handling such expansion

Геометрический анализ пропорций древнерусских христианских храмов X – XV вв. при помощи символической задачи «квадратура круга» выявил тесную связь с философско-богословскими понятиями и позволил описать общий принцип разбивки внутренних габаритов планов, подкупольного квадрата и построение основных высотных отметок, как в трёхнефных церквях, так и в многонефных соборах. Геометрические решения задачи «квадратура круга» дали возможность систематизировать и описать чаще всего встречающиеся отношения ширины к длине в интерьерах трёхнефных церквей: 8:9, 10:13, 2:3, 5:8, и объяснить пропорции основных символических делений в храме относительно ширины: «мир видимый» от входа до иконостаса; «мир невидимый» за иконостасом в алтаре, строящийся половиной круга символического круга «неба» из геометрического решения задачи «квадратура круга» в храмах с отношением ширины к длине как 10:13, 2:3, 5:8. В планах многонефных соборов и церквей с притворами выявлено структурное ядро, представляющее простой тип девятиячеистого средневизантийского храма с пропорциями ширины к длине в интерьере 10:13. Геометрический анализ позволил подтвердить существование в центральном подкупольном пространстве «Животворящего столпа», о котором имеются упоминания в богословских, летописных и иконографических источниках. Вертикальные пропорции столпа до центральной точки свода центральной главы кратны половине ширины трёх центральных нефов и составляют пропорции 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 или относительно полной ширины 5:8. Площадь же круга являющегося горизонтальным сечением этого столпа равна площади подкупольного квадрата в 75% древнерусских храмов X – XV вв., а в остальных 25% храмов диаметр столпа равен диагонали подкупольного квадрата. Пространственный образ «Животворящего столпа» предстаёт перед нами как река Света Отца льющаяся с небес в центральном подкупольном пространстве, которая разделяется на два рукава по описаниям Святителя Григория Богослова (IV в.), и образует внутреннюю ширину трёх центральных нефов. Геометрическая запись этого христианского понятия Святой Троицы через сплетённые три круга обнаруживается в построении пропорций древнерусских храмов X – XV вв. и триконхе на горе Нево в Иордании IV в. Подтверждение существования геометрического способа начертания планов христианских храмов мы получаем и при анализе храма св. Иоанна Крестителя в Иерусалиме к.VI – VIII вв., где в изначально построенном сооружении и в последующей перестройке, визуализируются триадологические споры и борьба с ересью арианства.
The geometric analysis of proportions of ancient Russian churches of the Tenth–Fifteenth centuries by solving the symbolic problem of the “quadrature of circle” revealed close connection with philosophical and theological concepts and made it possible to describe the general principle of layout of internal plan dimensions, the dome square and main heights both in three-nave and multi-nave temples. Geometric solutions of the problem of the “quadrature of circle” enabled to systematize and describe the most common width-to-length ratio in the interior of three-nave churches: 8:9, 10:13, 2:3, 5:8, as well as to explain the proportions of the main symbolic separation in the church relative to width: “visible world” from the entrance to the iconostasis; “invisible world” behind the iconostasis in the altar, built as half the symbolic circle of the “heaven” based on the geometric solution of the problem of the “quadrature of circle” in temples with the width-to-length ratio of 10:13, 2:3, 5:8. Plans of multi-nave cathedrals and churches with vestibules show a structural core representing the simple nine-cell type of the Middle Byzantine temple with width-to-length interior proportions of 10:13. The geometric analysis confirmed the existence of “The Life Giving Pillar” in the central dome space, as evidenced by doctrines, chronicles and icons. Vertical proportions of the pillar to the central point of the vault of the central dome are multiple of the half the width of three central naves (1:3, 1:4, 1:5) or relative to the full width (5:8). The square of the circle, being the horizontal section of the pillar, is equal to that of the dome square in 75% of ancient Russian churches of the Tenth–Fifteenth centuries. The pillar diameter in the remaining 25% temples is equal to the diagonal of the dome square. The spatial pattern of “The Life Giving Pillar” is represented as the river of the Holy Father, which flows from the heavens in the central dome space and is divided into two arms, according to the description provided by Gregory the Theologian (Fourth century). It forms the inner width of the three central naves. Geometric recording of the Christian concept of the Holy Trinity through the three bundled circles is revealed in proportioning of ancient Russian churches of the Tenth–Fifteenth centuries and the triconch on Mount Nebo in Jordan (Fourth century). The existence of the geometric outline of plans of Christian temples is also confirmed during the analysis of the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Jerusalem (late Sixth–Seventh centuries): both the original and the renovated structure visualize triadological disputes and the struggle against the Arian heresy.
