the golden ratio

Phi

The golden ratio was first studied by ancient mathematicians because of its frequent appearance in geometry. It is related to regular pentagons and pentagrams, which are known in Sumerian tablets as early as 3200 BC. It has been speculated since 1859 by Taylor [2] that the Egyptians embodied the golden ratio in the dimensions of pyramids, but according to a thorough modern analysis[1] there is absolutely no evidence that the Egyptians either knew about the golden ratio or used it in the dimensions of the pyramids.

Taylor's theory was that in the Great Pyramid of Giza built around 2600 BC, the golden ratio is represented by the ratio of the length of the face (the slope height), inclined at an angle θ to the ground, to half the length of the side of the square base, equivalent to the secant of the angle θ. The above two lengths were about 186.4 and 115.2 meters respectively. The ratio of these lengths is the golden ratio 1.618. Livio points out that the same dimensions can be shown to yield π to a similar accuracy, and that the Egyptians did know about π.

The largest isosceles triangle of the sriyantra design used in ancient India, described in the Atharva-Veda (circa 1200-900 BC) is one of the face triangles of the Great Pyramid in miniature, showing almost exactly the same relationship between π and the golden ratio as in its larger counterpart.

The ancient Greeks usually attributed its discovery to Pythagoras (or to the Pythagoreans, notably Theodorus) or to Hippasus of Metapontum. Hellenistic mathematician Euclid spoke of the "golden mean" this way, "a straight line is said to have been cut in extreme and mean ratio when, as the whole line is to the greater segment, so is the greater to the lesser". The golden ratio is represented by the Greek letter phi (phi, after Phidias, a sculptor who commonly employed it) or less commonly by τ (tau, the first letter of the ancient Greek root τ(ε/ο)μ– meaning cut).
