Ah – remember those happy days in Miss Merrill’s maths classes?
Of course you don’t, because you weren’t at my school.
I quite liked maths. Not quite as much as science, but a whole lot more than geography. Not quite as much as languages, but a whole lot more than woodwork. You get the idea.
One of my favourite bits of mathematics are the Fibonacci numbers – which are the numbers in the following sequence:
By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each remaining number is the sum of the previous two. It’s straightforward stuff.
Fibonacci numbers are clever. If you draw a quarter circle inside squares in a Fibonacci sequence, and you make the serkel beeger, then you get a Fibonacci spiral – amazing.
You can learn more about the Fibonacci Numbers on wikipedia. However, I have yet to find a website with pictures of hot chicks demonstrating mathematical principles.
But I will keep looking.
No… I can see you’re struggling with finding a hot chick to demonstrate – it’s really hard to take your eyes off that spiralling arc of water. Being that it’s water, I’m thinking the hot chick would have to be wearing a bikini, but that could be a big ask. Not sure maths can ever be sexed up…

Thank you for furthering my mathematical education.
I never realised that mathematics could be so visually appealing.
Now, can you find me a smilarly interesting picture to explain the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem?

Almost makes me want to start studying maths again.

Ro > Sadly not. Yet.
Stan > Ja – me too – “almost”.
