φ is the Number of God. The Golden Ratio is the formula of the universe.
14.99 €
This mysterious number, which mathematicians denote by the letter φ, has been called by many names: the golden ratio, the number of God, and the divine proportion. It plays the most important role in the geometry of living nature, and in human creations, it is laid in the basis of works of painting, sculpture and architecture, and moreover, adventure novels are devoted to it! But is such fame deserved? What is true here, and what is not quite, what is the history of the golden ratio in science and culture and what caused such interest in a simple geometric ratio, decided to find out a famous American astrophysicist and popularizer of science Mario Livio. A unique investigation led to unexpected results... A fascinating plot and non-trivial denouement, convincing logic and independence of judgment, little-known facts from the history of science and unexpected comparisons - this is what makes this popular science book a real detective and an undoubted bestseller.
