    About the Course

    Learn the mathematics behind the Fibonacci numbers, the golden ratio, and their relationship to each other. These topics may not be taught as
    part of a typical math curriculum, but they contain many fascinating results that are still accessible to an advanced high school student. The
    course culminates in an exploration of the Fibonacci numbers appearing unexpectedly in nature, such as the number of spirals in the head of a
    sunflower. Download the lecture notes from the link https://www.math.hkust.edu.hk/~machas/fibonacci.pdf Watch the promotional video:

    Someone has said that God created the integers; all the rest is the work of man. After seeing how the Fibonacci numbers play out in nature, I am not so sure about that. A very enjoyable course.

    One of the many marvels of mathematics is that of the Fibonacci Numbers & the Golden Ratio.

    Week 2 was somewhat challenging, but doable.
