Golden Sections
Stuart, Stephen N.
Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, v20 n1 p60-64 2006
In this article, the author states that architects, musicians and other thoughtful people have, since the time of Pythagoras, been fascinated by various harmonious proportions. One, is the visual harmony attributed to Euclid, called "the golden section". He explores this concept in geometries of one, two and three dimensions. He added, that in order to fully appreciate the three-dimensional proportions, model bases and capitals might be constructed from sheet-board and be displayed.
