The Medieval Ages stated around the fifth century to the early sixteenth century. It was caused by the fall of the Roman Empire in around 476. The dark ages were not really a time of darkness. There were great advancements and inventions during that time. During the Medieval Times, there were many advances in agriculture, science and architecture. Some of the advances include the change of the number system, the change of animals in which they used to farm and the gothic architecture used during…

The book is about a young boy who’s name is Robert. Robert is a typical middle school student who hates mathematics and he suffers to do mathematical problems in school. Furthermore, like other middle school students, Robert cannot connect between mathematical concepts and real life. Besides mathematics Robert has another problem, he has recurring dreams. Every night, he would dream of either being eaten by a smelly, giant fish or experiencing a fall off an endless slide. Robert was suffering…

length of her head in comparison to the length of her neck and the exposed portion of her chest is another location where the Golden Ratio can be applied. The image of The Mona Lisa on the right with the white grid uses the Golden Rectangle or the Fibonacci Squares to identify the proportions of her face with the Golden Ratio. Notice that the smallest square in the centre of the Golden Rectangle corresponds with the base of her nose. Furthermore, her eyes and forhead fit into the smallest box at…

it will take for your financial assets to double in market value?”(Richa, 6). Even without knowing, people are always using sequences and series, which is referred as a Quantitative and Financial Analysis. Sequences are also seen in nature, “The Fibonacci numbers are Nature's numbering system. They appear everywhere in Nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the pattern of the florets of a flower, the bracts of a pinecone, or the scales of a pineapple (Nikhat Parveen, 1).”…

As a universal language, mathematics is not only within the education system but rather in almost every aspect of life. When looking outside at nature or even at oneself, various types of symmetrical examples are present. Symmetry, according to the Oxford dictionary, means the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis. Hence, this similarity within symmetrical patterns, designed within various objects or persons appeals to the eye at first glance due…

looking to increase test scores, then eliminating music classes from high schools would not be the solution. Math and music are very much a part of each other, so much so that it would be difficult to completely exclude music from the criteria. The Fibonacci sequence is one representation of this incredible connection between the two, it is a pattern of numbers that occurs throughout nature, art, engineering, and…

always intrigued me is the beauty of mathematics. Three years ago I took a summer class in a camp at Yale University called “the Mathematics of Beauty” and since then I continue to delve deeper into that topic. This encompasses concepts such as the Fibonacci Sequence, the Golden Ratio, fractals, and curves. For example, for my IB Mathematics internal assessment paper last year I explored the Golden Ratio in architecture. I am also enrolled in the IB Visual Arts class at my school which…

Leonardo Da VInci is widely associated with the Golden ratio. His association was further strengthened by Jan Brown’s bestselling novel “The Da Vinci” code, a literary masterpiece that contains crucial plot points revolving around phi and the fibonacci sequence. However Da Vinci's association with the number runs far deeper than a mere novel. Da Vinci illustrated Luca Pacioli’s “De Divina Proportione” (The Divine Proportion). The title of this intriguing literary work is an alternate name for…
