Golden Mean From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For those mathematically inclinedSee Golden ratio The Golden Mean is a mathematical expression of proportion that the Greeks observed everwhere in nature. It is called by several names, The Divine Proportion, The Golden Section and The Golden ratio . The Latin poet Horace coined the term aurea mediocritas . Both ancients and moderns realized that "there is a close association in mathematics between beauty and truth The Poet Keats in his "Ode on a Grecian Urn" composed these lines: "Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all" "Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." The Golden Mean is the middle between two extremes; the one of excess and the other of deficiency. This golden mean is an attribute of beauty. There are three concomitants of Beauty: symmetry, proportion, and harmony. This triad of principles infused their life. They were very much attuned to beauty as an object of love and something that was to be imitated and reproduced in their lives, architecture, Paideia and politics. They judged life by this mentality. This mentality is called

"Tape running, here we are again, Charles, continuing our ongoing conversation on Sacred Geometry and all the unbelievable connections it has to our everyday lives. I'm amazed, Charles, I truly am. This is our eleventh tape and I promised you our subject would be your choice this time. What are we going to talk about today?" C.G. "Thank you, Leslie. Generally, when I take on a really bright student, like yourself, I begin by letting them ask the questions that first come to their minds. It seems to work pretty well. And so far we have been doing just that, but this is, as you just mentioned, our eleventh conversation and it feels pretty special to me." L.P. "Really? In what way?" C.G. "It's the number, Leslie. At least that's part of it." L.P. "Of course..... numerology. One of our first conversations was about esoteric numerology, remember?" C.G. "Yes, very vividly. You have a natural affinity with mathematics, Leslie, in all its forms, which gives you an edge in this study. Eleven is a very special number; the first master number."

THE GOLDEN AGE AND THE GOLDEN MEAN The second half of the 5th century B.C. was the Golden Age of Greece. This was the period of her most beautiful art and architecture, and some of her wisest thinkers besides. Both owed much to the popular new study of geometry. By the start of the next century, geometry itself was entering its own classic age with a series of great developments, including the Golden Mean. The times were glorious in many ways. The Persian invaders had been driven out of Hellas forever, and Pericles was rebuilding Athens into the most beautiful city in the world. At his invitation, Greek mathematicians from elsewhere flocked into the new capital. From Ionia came Anaxa- goras, nicknamed "the mind." From southern Italy and Sicily came learned Pythagoreans and the noted Zeno of Elea. And their influence was felt over all Athens. High on the hill of the Acropolis rose new marble temples and bronze and painted statues. Crowds thronged the vast new open-air theater nearby, to hear immortal tragedies and comedies by the greatest Greek playwrights. These splendid public works were completed under the direction of the sculptor Phidias and several architects, all of whom knew and used the principles of geometry and optics. "Success in art," they insisted, "is achieved by meticulous accuracy in a multitude of mathematical proportions." And their buildings had a dazzling perfection never seen before-the beauty of calculated geometric harmony.

The Golden Mean - We find in the ASIS logo, two methods of constructing the golden proportion using Euclidean tools. The logo represents a system or series of systems that ever resolve themselves in harmony and usefulness. The golden proportion was selected to be an integral part of the logo representing Access Solutions Information Services. The construction is a network of scribed arcs and straight lines that resolve themselves in useful relationship. We are able to arrive, through technological, conceptual, human based rationality at a relationship that nature exudes. Nature can't help herself, it's just how the flower grows. But man can stray and create abominations. So many of us live far removed from natural structure and as we venture into cyber space we are even further removed from order that can keep us sane. Our logo pays homage to nature's wisdom and serves as a reminder that with a little care, we can structure our world in a way that gives us beauty and peaceful resolve. Information requires perspective or context. The relevance of information is based on its usefulness.

35. Under Siege: The Golden Mean In Architecture By Michael Ostwald For The Nexus Ne relationship between geometric forms and other forms say geometry and architecture bya number of recent authors investigating the golden mean in architecture http://www.nexusjournal.com/Ostwald.html

Abstract. Michael Ostwald briefly describes the Golden Mean and its history before examining the stance taken by a number of recent authors investigating the Golden Mean in architecture. He addresses the theories of Husserl, Derrida and Ingraham, who separately affirm that tacit assumptions about the relationship between geometric forms and other forms - say geometry and architecture - must be constantly questioned if they are to retain any validity. Under Siege: The Golden Mean in Architecture Michael J. Ostwald Department of Architecture Faculty of Architecture, Building and Design, University of Newcastle University Drive, Callaghan, NSW 2308 AUSTRALIA Introduction E dmund Husserl's Origin of Geometry was originally written as an appendix to his The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology . Significantly, in the Origin of Geometry Husserl examines geometry from a historical perspective not a mathematical one. For Husserl the elevation of geometric forms to transcendental status (as, for example, the basis of universal beauty) presupposes the connection between such forms and some "ideal" or "original" form. An example of this is found in Vitruvius, who maintains that th

Abstract. Rachel Fletcher examines Palladio's Villa Emo, reviewing the sources for harmonic proportions in architecture from Vitruvius to Alberti, and discussing both the rational proportions found in the plan of the villa published in the Quattro Libri as well as the incommensurable Golden Mean. Golden Proportions in a Great House: Palladio's Villa Emo Rachel Fletcher 113 Division St. Great Barrington, MA 01230 USA A mong the great houses of the Renaissance is Palladio's Villa Emo at Fanzolo in Northern Italy, built in the 1550s to realize Lunardo Emo's dream of a family seat in the country. Palladio's methods of harmonizing buildings organically with their physical surroundings borrow from rural traditions and local farm customs. The massive south-facing entry ramp in front, for example, serves as a threshing floor, where grain may be spread in the sun to dry. Palladio adopted a number of classical rules of building recorded in the ten books of De architectura by the Latin theorist Vitruvius, well known for applying mathematical proportion to a building's measures and equally adept at achieving harmony in more pragmatic and natural ways.

Here is a intro into the Golden Proportion, PHI continue here for a second page or see perfectly perfecting Numbers are symbols like letters or any other symbol or sign, they point to something other then itself. The numerical value or phi or the word points to something other. A dynamic relationship that is the only possible creative duality within the unity of the singularity. It is perfect, and perfects so many principles. T he first thing to understand when dealing with numbers is that there are two types that are generally discussed, Rational or whole numbers and Irrational Numbers, which Transcendental Numbers are the most curious. Irrational Numbers do not end in a whole number. Phi is a proportion , a number, a ratio and much more to those that have studied this most unusual of relationships. Below is from Robert Lawlors' 1982 book Sacred Geometry, pages 46-47 on the Golden Proportion. I quote Robert because it is the best, yet simplest explanation to the paradox of phi. This book is highly recommended as a workbook / primer to Sacred Geometry. First let me say that the Golden Proportion, the Golden Ratio, the Golden Mean or simple Phi all refer to the same magical proportion and for the discussions here are the same thing. It can be referred to in an mode or geometry, this because it is a relationship, from the line to the spiral or the base of a multidimensional holographic fractal. When you here the Golden Mean or phi think proportion, ratio or relationship.

Golden Mean Day (Grades 7-12) August 13 Graphic: Ji Sun An There's Pi Day and Mole Day, so it seems only right that the Golden Mean should have its own day. The Golden Mean, or Golden Ratio, is 1.6180339 rounded off to eight digits, or approximately 1.618. That makes August 13the day that is 61.8 percent of way through the yeara fitting day to proclaim Golden Mean Day. (Of course, if you prefer to celebrate during the traditional school year, you could have students figure out what 61.8 percent of your school year would be, or 61.8 percent of a specific month.) The Golden Mean represents an aesthetically pleasing proportion of height to width: 1 to 1.618 . . . . Like pi, it's an irrational number. It's often represented by the Greek letter Phi.

40. Geometry The golden mean (or golden Section), represented by the the Fibonacci series and thegolden Rectangle carefully this subject is Sacred geometry Philosophy and http://www.dial-a-teacher.com/geometry/page11.html

Phi The Golden Mean The Golden Mean (or Golden Section), represented by the Greek letter phi, is one of those mysterious natural numbers, like e or pi, that seem to arise out of the basic structure of our cosmos. Unlike those abstract numbers, however, phi appears clearly and regularly in the realm of things that grow and unfold in steps, and that includes living things. The decimal representation of phi is 1.6180339887499... . Pure Math Proportion is the relationship of the size of two things. Arithmetic proportion exists when a quantity is changed by adding some amount. Geometric proportion exists when a quantity is changed by multiplying by some amount. Phi possesses both qualities. If you study the Fibonacci series and the Golden Rectangle carefully, you will eventually realize that phi + 1 = phi * phi. The resulting proportion is both arithmetic and geometric. It is thus perfect proportion; you could think of it as the place on some imaginary graph where the curved line of multiplication crosses the straight line of addition. Nature In pure mathematics, an increase in size can be any imaginable number, even one like
