«Le nombre d’or» is the popular mathematics essay by Fernando Corbalán, Étienne Ghys and Cédric Villani, published by RBA France in hardback.
The book asks whether beauty can be expressed in mathematical terms and traces how the golden ratio appears in the spiral of seashells, sunflower seeds or the arms of galaxies. It also explores its presence in art and architecture, from Vitruvius and Leonardo to Dalí and Le Corbusier, and connects it with Fibonacci and geometry.
Volume in the «Le monde est mathématique» collection, presented by Cédric Villani and with a foreword by Étienne Ghys. Text in French; hardback, 159 pages.
For non-specialist readers who want to discover the links between mathematics, art and nature, from geometry to Fibonacci.
