It's AMAZING that something so complicated can come out of such a simple program! I spent way too much time just looking around the...

    Fractals, Mathematical Constants, and Binary Code

    Anyone able to expound a little on mathematical constants such as Pi, fractals, Fibonacci Numbers, and Golden Ratios, etc. By chance, I came across an article that the spirals in cone-shells conform to the Golden Mean. A quick glance into this area on the 'net covers everything from...

The article is about 5 or so years old. www.ars.usda.gov/is/AR/archive/apr98/frac0498.pdf I...
