Applied Math

Source: Futility Closet

Each term in the Fibonacci sequence is derived by adding the two preceding terms:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 …

Remarkably, you can use successive terms to convert miles to kilometers:

8 miles ≈ 13 kilometers
13 miles ≈ 21 kilometers

This works because the two units stand in the golden ratio (to within 0.5 percent).

Perspective Test - I

My friend and I have been discussing about stuff which I shall explain in upcoming posts. In order to get a better understanding, I decided to conduct this small "survey", if you will...

I know that this is not how most of you would like to spend 600 seconds, but I would really appreciate it if you would comment on the following 3 images. I drew these in college today when I realized something that my friend had been talking about since a month (dat's hw much attention i pay in class btw...)

I ain't the best artist on the block, but I'm looking forward to the comments I may receive :D

A little heads-up, please write a considerable in for the benefit of many... :D


Adiós Amigos!
