As much as we wishes, unfortunately there is no backup or Undo feature <img src="http://desigeek.com/weblog/emoticons/emotion-6.gif" alt="Sad" />. To understand&nbsp;how our daily lives contribute towards global warming check out the <a href="http://www.jointhebiggerpicture.co.uk/carbonCalculator/calc.html" target="_blank">Carbon Calculator</a> and then read up on how you can offset those emissions and be <a href="http://www.carbonneutral.com/cncalculators/skycalculate.asp?co2=9.1&amp;calctype=footprint" target="_blank">Carbon Neutral</a>. </p>
<p>However, personally I am not a believer of offsetting, while it is a step in the right direction it is not the solution.</p>

You might have seen this already, if not, MSDN has a six-part article extensively examining the data structures in .NET 2.0 covering the usual suspects and then some not-so-usual unless you have written some compilers such as BST’s, graphs, red-back trees, etc. Quite an interesting read when you have some time.]]></description>

<p><font face=Verdana size=2>The crux of the book relies on the golden ratio also known as the divine proportion which has a value of <strong>1.61803399 (per the book)</strong>. The book, claims an eerie prevalence of divine proportion&nbsp; in life and nature, which if you think is just fiction might be surprised to find out it really is not!! Whaaaaaat? Dammit, and all this time I thought I was reading just a novel!! Err.. I guess I should stop trying to be a &#8220;writer&#8220; and get on with it.</font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang=EN-GB><o:p><font face=Verdana size=2>The whole thing goes back to the Greeks, who believed the most pleasing and aesthetic and purest form is the triangle, specifically the golden triangle, which the Greeks incorporated in their architecture. The Italian mathematician Leonardo Pisano&#8217;s book called <em>Liber Abaci</em> brings to the west a&nbsp; method of writing numbers and arithmetic (that we use today) which was completed in India 500 years earlier. These new numbers eventually provided the basis for modern science and engineering. One of the many exercises in <em>Liber Abaci</em> leads to the Fibonacci series (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, &#8230;). I won&#8217;t go into the examples here but you can find the link in the bottom of this post. The Fibonacci series essentially is every one number after 1 is the sum of the previous two (so, 1+1 = 2, 1+2 = 3, 2+3 = 5, etc.). As you solve more problems (the rabbit problem, bees, etc. &#8211; again see the link at the end) with the Fibonacci series you will notice that this series occurs pretty frequently in nature. Some examples (also mentioned in the book) are:</font></o:p></span></p>

<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang=EN-GB><o:p><font face=Verdana size=2>If you count the number of petals in most flowers you will find the total to be a Fibonacci series. E.g. an iris has 3 petals, a buttercup has 5, a delphinium 8, daisy 13, 21 or 34, etc.</font></o:p></span></div>
<li>
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang=EN-GB><o:p><font face=Verdana size=2>A sunflower has two beautiful spiral patterns &#8211; one clockwise and the other anti-clockwise. If you count those spirals, you will find there are 21 or 34 running clockwise and 34 or 55 running anti-clockwise.</font></o:p></span></div>
<li>
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang=EN-GB><o:p><font face=Verdana size=2>Similarly, other flowers exhibit the same characteristics including Pine-cones and Cauliflowers</font></o:p></span></div>
<li>
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang=EN-GB><o:p><font face=Verdana size=2>Leaves on trees (and stems) are arranged in a spiral pattern that is wound around the stem. If p&nbsp;is the number of turns you make (of the spiral) till you reach the next leaf directly above the first, and q is the number of leaves (excluding the first one), then the ratio p/q gives us the divergence of the plant. If you calculate the divergence for various plant species you will find that both the numerator and denominators represent Fibonacci series &#8211; 1/2, 1/3, 2/5, 3/8, 5/13, 8/21, etc.</font></o:p></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang=EN-GB><o:p><font face=Verdana size=2>Here is where things get more interesting. If you take the Fibonacci series and divide each number into the one that follows it you would get: 1/1 = 1; 2/1 = 2; 3/2 = 1.5; 5/3 = 1.666; 8/5 = 1.6; 13/8 = 1.625; 21/13 = 1.<span class="search-everything-highlight" style="">615</span>; 34/21 = 1.619; 55/34 = 1.6176; 89/55 = 1.6181&#8230;. Hmmmm, notice anything? The 1, 1.6, 1.61, 1.618, etc. looks like the golden ratio.</font></o:p></span></p>

To achieve maximum efficiency, flower heads and plant leaves grow in a spiral fashion governed by the golden ratio and rounded off to the nearest whole number (since <span lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: ZapfChancery"><span lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: ZapfChancery"><span lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: ZapfChancery">f<strong> </strong>is a irrational number) &#8211; because of this it will be a Fibonacci series.</span></span></span></font></font></span></span></span></span></span></span></o:p></span></p>

To do so, the leaves come in a spiral pattern. In the case of seeds, a spiral &#8220;packs&#8220; the most possible &#8211; and the most efficient way to do is via spirals. We now understand that <span lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: ZapfChancery"><span lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: ZapfChancery"><span lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: ZapfChancery">f is the ratio that gives the optimal solution to growth equations.
