the fibonacci series otherwise known as the golden ratio. The ratio is developed by splitting the rectangle in half long ways, and then spitting one of the halves longways again until you get an infinite spiral. It is seen in many buildings by Boromini as well as some paintings by Leonardo Davinci and other masters to develop an eye-pleasing sense of balance and composition. It is also seen in mathematics in the form of a spiral shaped graph I am not sure what it is used for in mathematics but I know that we talked about it in Calculus. A good book that talks about the Golden Ratio in architecture is, "Experiencing Architecture" by Rasmussin (not sure on the spelling).
