The Fibonacci Sequence

Fibonacci Sequence

1   2   3   5   8   13   21   34   55   89
Every figure is the sum of the two preceding
1   2 + 3 = 5   8   13 + 21 = 34   55   89
The Golden Section is devised from this ratio
When a Golden Rectangle is progressively subdivided into smaller and smaller Golden Rectangles, a pattern is obtained. From this, a spiral can be drawn which grows logarithmically, where the radius of the spiral, at any given point, is the length of the corresponding square to a Golden Rectangle.

“Wow! Cal Poly students get to build satellites and actually launch them!”

I came here from Stanford for my master's and served as the mechanical systems lead on the satellite project. You can't get a hands-on opportunity like this at almost any other university.
