These questions and more are thoroughly explained in this engaging tour of one of mathematics' most interesting phenomena. The authors trace the appearance of the Golden Ratio throughout history, demonstrate a variety of ingenious techniques used to construct it, and illustrate the many surprising geometric figures in which the Golden Ratio is embedded.

This torrent contains the original EPUB file, in retail quality, as well as conversions into MOBI, AZW3, LIT, and large-print PDF formats in Calibre. I am not sure why the original file was quite so large (20 MB!), but that has resulted in large copies of each version, which is why the torrent contents are so abnormally large for a single book. Sorry about any inconvenience. The front cover and the generated.opf file are also included. Please seed, and enjoy.
