Golden Spiral • If it grows outward by a factor of the golden ratio for every 90 degrees of rotation known as a ‘golden spiral’ • One approximation of the ‘golden spiral’ can be formed using Fibonacci Rectangles
Logarithmic spirals • Sea shells follow a spiral that widens as it winds around itself • Discovered by Rene Descartes in 1638 • He found the lines drawn from the center of the spiral intersected with tangents to the spiral at a constant angle • Also called an equiangular spiral
Maths behind Logarithmic Spiral… • The logarithmic spiral is a spiral whose polar equation is given by • e is the base of natural logarithms, and a and b are positive real constants • ‘a’ controls the size of the spiral • ‘b’ controls how ‘tightly’ the spiral winds • As it tends to 0, the spiral tends towards a circle of radius ‘a’ • As it tends to ∞ , the spiral tends towards a straight line
