Talk:Golden angle

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I have rewritten the article significantly in order to explain why phi^2 golden angles fit in a circle. In the process, I added a algebraic derivation of the golden angle(without knowing phi) as well as a tidbit about the golden angle showing up in nature.

Can anyone get an .svg showing the construction of the golden angle? That would make the concept clear immediately. (Nice proofs, Superm401.)  —Rafi Neal |T/C 02:06, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. I also changed the lead explanation to be hopefully more clear. Dicklyon 03:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clocks for sale

[edit]

This article might perhaps mention the fact that many analog clocks that are on display to be sold are set to around 2:50 or 10:10 so that the minute and hour hands form the golden angle. 132.162.218.82 (talk) 21:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
