We can come across the golden ratio in everyday life without even being aware of it. The golden ratio has been well-known since the ancient times to the present day. It is commonly used in architecture, construction engi- neering, sculpture, art, painting, music, photography and design. The golden ratio or the divine proportion is the most perfect ratio in nature, simply perfect to the human eye. It is a harmony between extreme precision and chaotic imperfection. Fibonacci sequence has been the centre of study for mathematicians worldwide for over the centuries. It possesses various properties, algebraically and geometrically. They are closely connected with the golden ratio also known as number Φ (phi).
