HistoryEuclid's Elements provides first known written definition of golden mean: "A straight line is said to have been cut in extreme and mean ratio when, as the whole line is to the greater segment, so is the greater to the less.“Euclid gives a construction for cutting a line "in extreme and mean ratio", i.e. the golden ratio.Several propositions and their proofs employ the golden ratio.Some of these propositions show that the golden ratio is an irrational number.

Fibonacci ConnectionIs it true that:
Note: Since φ2 = φ + 1, multiplying by φn-1
gives a Fibonacci type relationship:φn+1 = φn + φn-1
(Fn+1 = Fn + Fn-1)And it so happens that
