Nature by numbers - Math made beautiful

A short Movie inspired by the numbers in nature

A beautifully made video that explores how the Fibonacci Sequence, Golden Ratio and the number Phi (not Pi) appear in nature.

"The animation begins by presenting a series of numbers. This is a very famous sequence, recognized for many centuries in the Western World thanks to the work of Leonardo of Pisa, a thirteenth century Italian mathematician, also called Fibonacci. It is known as the Fibonacci Sequence."
