Book Review: The Golden Ratio: The Divine Beauty of Mathematics

Posted by Jeff Short on July 31, 2019 · Leave a Comment 

The Golden RatioThe Golden Ratio by Gary B. Meisner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is an interesting look at math history with intersections in art, architecture, engineering, natural science, biology, chemistry, astrophysics, etc. Meisner looks at the natural occurrence of phi as well as the human use of the irrational number in history.
