From Graphical to Mathematical: The Spiral of Golden Proportion
Fletcher, Rodney
Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, v21 n1 p46-52 2007
There has been a lot of material written about logarithmic spirals of golden proportion but this author states that he has never come across an article that states the exact equation of the spiral which ultimately spirals tangentially to the sides of the rectangles. In this article, the author intends to develop such an equation. (Contains 5 figures.)
