Riassunto

Ukrainian mathematician and engineer Stakhov draws on his four decades of research into Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Section to set out the fundamentals for a new specialty of mathematics, one he believes will eventually revolutionize both the understanding and teaching of mathematics. After reviewing the classical treatments of Golden Mean, Fibonacci numbers, and Platonic solids, he covers the mathematics of harmony and its application in computer science. Among specific topics are regular polyhedrons, hyperbolic Fibonacci and Lucas functions, algorithmic measurement theory, ternary mirror-symmetrical arithmetic, and a new coding theory based on a matrix approach. Several pages of color reproductions illustrate symmetry in nature and art. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
