Leonardo Pisano (c.1170–after 1240), dubbed ‘Fibonacci’, thought that Archimedes' proof that π was between $3\frac{10}{71}$ and $3\frac{1}{7}$ was beautiful [pulcra].
Archimedes' proof proceeds by calculating approximate ratios of the perimeters of 96-gons circumscribed about and inscribed in a circle to the diameter of that circle, implicitly starting with dodecagons and repeatedly bisecting edges to obtain 24-, 48-, and then 96-gons (see attached image).
Fibonacci’s judgement seems to be the earliest extant description of a *proof* as beautiful in the European tradition. [Al-Nasawī (fl. 1029–44) had earlier described a proof as beautiful.]
But there is a twist in the story...

Euclid's algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor of two integers has its worst behavior when the input is consecutive Fibonacci numbers. This result is supposedly the first practical application of Fibonacci's sequence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm#Algorithmic_efficiency #euclid #algorithm #gcd #fibonacci

Fibonacci forever. Create a work that uses the Fibonacci sequence in some way.

For #genuary3, "Fibonacci Forever", I'm recycling an orbit-trap fractal I shared back on Fibonacci Day (11/23, of course). It uses the typical fractal equation z ↦ zⁿ + z₀, but n increases following the Fibonacci sequence with each iteration.
#03 Fibonacci Forever.
Chaos or not? For art, architecture and in nature. The Fibonacci numbers always look "nice". And where do you find them here?
Again minimalism with circles having the radius from 1 starting, then 2, 3, 5, 8, ... until the image width is reached. Simple yet satisfying.
It's again inspiring to see all your interpreations of each prompt. Thanks.

The #genuary3 prompt is "Fibonacci Forever".
These images plot successive pairs in the Fibonacci sequence (F_{i}, F_{i+1}) modulo N -- that is, their remainders after division by N. Because mod N there are at most N^2 pairs, each path must close to form a loop, and indeed we can show that the loop comes back to the starting point (0,1).
