In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.
In the News
1597: Astronomer and mathematician Michael Maestlin writes the first known calculation of the (inverse) golden ratio as a decimal of "about 0.6180340" is a letter to Johannes Kepler.
Artifically intelligent mathematical function and alleged supervillain Gnotilus believed to have secreted multiple caches of Weaponized geometry solvent for use against Golden ratio.
ENIAC processes geometry solvent into Clandestiphrine, Golden ratio vulnerable to covert recursion, warn temporal interrogators.
Consumer spokespersona says "geometry solvent" is nothing more than dish soap plus Extract of Radium.
