Sieve of Eratosthenes
Comment: A natural number is prime if it has exactly two positive divisors, 1 and itself. Eratosthenes of Cyrene (276-194 BC) conceived a method of identifying prime numbers by sieving them from the natural numbers. Web page uses the sieve to find all primes less than 50. Includes a link to a Sieve of Eratosthenes Applet which also begins with a size or upper boundary of 50. Eratosthenes' Sieve contains a similar applet preset to find all primes less than 200. Both applets require a JAVA-capable browser. Title: Prime Number List Comment: Once you have entered the lower bound and upper bound, this javascript applet will display all prime numbers within the selected range. Another Prime Number List will generate prime numbers until you click Stop or until your computer runs out of memory. Title: Prime Factorization Machine Comment: A positive integer (natural number) is either prime or a product of primes. This applet decomposes any positive integer less than 1,000,000 into its prime factors. The bigger the number, the longer it will take. Requires a JAVA-capable browser. Title: Comment: Includes a link to Mini-Lessons demonstrating how to find the Common Divisor Factor (GCF) or Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) and the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more natural numbers using prime factorization. Features an interactive applet with detailed explanations and solutions.

by K T Atanassov (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria) , V Atanassova (University of Sofia, Bulgaria) , A G Shannon (University of New South Wales, Australia) (University of Waikato, New Zealand)
This book covers new ground on Fibonacci sequences and the well-known Fibonacci numbers. It will appeal to research mathematicians wishing to advance the new ideas themselves, and to recreational mathematicians, who will enjoy the various visual approaches and the problems inherent in them. There is a continuing emphasis on diagrams, both geometric and combinatorial, which helps to tie disparate topics together, weaving around the unifying themes of the golden mean and various generalizations of the Fibonacci recurrence relation. Very little prior mathematical knowledge is assumed, other than the rudiments of algebra and geometry, so the book may be used as a source of enrichment material and project work for college students. A chapter on games using goldpoint tiles is included at the end, and it can provide much material for stimulating mathematical activities involving geometric puzzles of a combinatoric nature.

http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/~huberty/math5337/groupe/fibonacci.html
Recall that the Fibonacci sequence is defined by F(1) = 1, F(2) = 1, F(3) = 2, F(n) + F(n+1) = F(n+2). The following relation involving the Fibonacci numbers was proven by Ko Hayashi The connection to is that arctan(1) = /4. Thus can be expressed in terms of Fibonacci numbers The first three cases have been demonstrated geometrically using the Geometer's Sketchpad. (These are not really interactive sketches.)
  • arctan(1) = arctan (1/2) + arctan(1/3)
    • green angle arctan(1) (look at the 1x1 square)
    • red angle arctan(1/2) (look at the tilted 1x2 rectangle)
    • blue angle arctan(1/3) (look at the 1x3 rectangle)
    One can easily see that green angle red angle blue angle
    arctan(1) arctan (1/2) arctan(1/3)
  • arctan(1/3) = arctan(1/5) + arctan(1/8) As it is difficult to see the angles involved here, the following picture zooms in on the important angles.
    • blue angle arctan(1/3) as before (look at a 1x3 rectangle)
    • yellow angle arctan(1/5) (look at the tilted 1x5 rectangle)
    • pink angle arctan(1/8) (look at the 1x8 rectangle)

For starters, Fibonacci introduced the decimal system to Europe in his Book of Calculation Liber Abacci) . Prior to that, everyone had a very difficult time using the Greek and Roman values of I, V, X, L, C, D and M in mathematics. What a momentous breakthrough that was! The new system was the leading mathematical discovery since the fall of Rome 700 years earlier and laid the foundation for great developments in higher mathematics and physics, astronomy and engineering. In his day, Fibonacci was very famous: Frederick II, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the King of Sicily and Jerusalem, and descendant of two of the noblest families in Europe, travelled to Pisa in Italy to meet Fibonacci in 1225 AD. Here, Fibonacci solved many mathematical problems in front of the Prince, many of which are shown in the revised version of his Book of Calculation (1228 AD). Now, though, the only monuments to Fibonacci are a small statue across the river from the Leaning Tower of Pisa (of which Fibonacci helped to design) and two street names that bare his name: one in Florence and one in Pisa.

    PYTHAGORAS THEOREM AND FIBONACCI NUMBERS Pythagoras was born on the island of Samos, Greece, in 569 BC.He excelled as a student and, as a young man, he traveled widely . Tradition says that he explored from India in the East to Gaul in the West.Pythagoras traveled extensively through Egypt, learning maths, astronomy and music. Pythagoras left Samos in disgust for its ruler Polycrates. He moved on to the Greek city of Crotona, located on the southern shore of Italy. There he created a school where his followers lived and worked.It was a mystical learning community. At the heart of Pythagoras` teachings was the vision of the underlying harmony of the universe. This harmony had to be abstracted from the confusion of visible things and daily events. As a matter of fact this harmony existed in the abstract - in the same way as numbers and mathematical formulas are abstractions.
    Pythagoras believed in secrecy and communalism, so it is almost impossible distguishing his work from the work of his followers. Pythagoras and his followers contributed to music, astronomy and mathematics. He died about 500 BC in Metapontum, Lucania. Pythagoras` desire was to find the mathematical harmonies of all things. The study of of odd, even, prime and square numbers were among numerous mathematical investigations of the Pythagoreans. This helped them develop a basic understanding of mathematics and geometry to build their Pythagorean theorem.

    http://www.goldenmuseum.com/1607SpiralSymmetry_engl.html
    Law of spiral symmetry transformation As is well known from biology a relative arrangement of very different sprouts arising in the cones of shoots is characterized by the "spiral symmetry". This arrangement principle was named "phyllotaxis" . On the surface of phyllotaxis forms, especially in the closely packed botanic structures (pine cone, pineapple, cactus, head of sunflower etc.), one can see clearly visible left- and right curved series of sprouts. As to the symmetry order of phyllotaxis forms there exists a practice to indicate it through the ratios of the numbers corresponding to the number of the left- and right-hand spirals. In accordance with the law of phyllotaxis such ratios are given by the number sequence generated by the Fibonacci recurrent relationship G n G n-1 G n-2 The most widespread types of phyllotaxis are those described through the Fibonacci numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ... , the Lucas numbers 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, ... or the number sequence 4, 5, 9, 14, 23, ... satisfying to the general recurrent formula (1). It is well known that the process of the collective fruit growing is accompanied at the certain stage by a modification of the spiral symmetry order. As this takes place the modification is strictly regular and corresponds to the general rule of constructing the recurrent number sequences generated by (1). In the case of Fibonacci's phyllotaxis the progress of symmetry order is presented through the sequence:

    Investigating The Golden Rectangle and the Fibonacci Sequence a WebQuest for Geometry and Algebra students
    by Pamela Franklin
    Cordova High School Introduction Task Resources Process ... Conclusion
    Introduction The Golden Ratio is the ratio of the length to the width of what is said to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing rectangular shapes. This rectangle, called the Golden Rectangle, appears in nature and is used by humans in both art and architecture. The Golden Ratio can be noticed in the way trees grow, in the proportions of both human and animal bodies, and in the frequency of rabbit births.
    The Task
    This WebQuest is designed to lead you to connections between the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci sequence through the use of algebraic and geometric concepts. You will be absolutely amazed at the number patterns that exist in real-world situations! You will also be asked to integrate Art,Biology, or Music into your final project: creating your own lesson plan. By the end of this WebQuest, you will know the answers to the following questions (Some of you will become experts on this topic!!):
