The document discusses the golden ratio, a special number approximately equal to 1.618 that appears frequently in geometry, art, architecture, and nature. It was first described by the Greek mathematician Euclid, though he called it "the division in extreme and mean ratio." The golden ratio fosters organic, natural-looking designs that are aesthetically pleasing because it is commonly found in nature. It has importance in design and composition. The presentation was done by Deepashikha, a 6th grade student, and includes the formula for the golden ratio.

Use of golden ratio in architecture
The document discusses the use of the golden ratio in architecture and its origins. It provides examples of how the golden ratio was used in ancient Egyptian architecture and the Great Pyramids. It also discusses Fibonacci's discovery of the Fibonacci sequence and how the golden ratio appears in this sequence as the terms grow large. Examples of the golden ratio in nature are also given. Le Corbusier's Modulor system for architectural proportions is described, which was based on the golden ratio. Analysis of the Parthenon and UN Secretariat building show they incorporate golden ratio proportions in their design.
Minoan civilization
The Minoan civilization arose on the island of Crete around 1700 BC and lasted until around 1100 BC. It was a highly advanced Bronze Age civilization that was rediscovered in the early 20th century through archaeological excavations. The Minoans built large palatial complexes that served administrative and religious functions. They engaged in extensive overseas trade and spread Minoan culture throughout the Aegean Sea. Minoan society placed great emphasis on art, architecture, and leisure activities like sports. The Minoan civilization declined around 1100 BC, possibly due to a volcanic eruption or invasion.
Chinese Mathematics
1) Ancient Chinese mathematics developed an efficient decimal place value number system over 1000 years before the West adopted it, facilitating even complex calculations.
2) The "Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art" textbook, written from around 200 BC, was important for educating mathematically competent administrators, covering practical problems and the first known method for solving equations.
3) By the 13th Century Golden Age of Chinese mathematics, over 30 prestigious schools had scholars like Qin Jiushao exploring solutions to quadratic and cubic equations hundreds of years before the West using similar repeated approximation methods.
Ancient Greek Urban form essay
The document discusses the influence of geography and climate on Greek city form and urban planning principles. It describes how Greek cities typically had three main components: the acropolis, agora, and residential districts. The acropolis was built on high ground for defense, while the agora functioned as the social, political, and commercial heart. Homes were usually arranged along the southern slopes below the acropolis. Later Greek cities sometimes featured planned grid-iron street patterns, while older cities organically developed irregular routes. Overall, geography strongly shaped the decentralized nature of Greek city-states and their emphasis on regional control from urban centers.
GOLDEN RATIO - "The Divine Proportion"
The golden ratio is about 1.618, and represented by the Greek letter phi.
The golden ratio is sometimes called the "divine proportion," because of its frequency in the natural world.
Persepolis-wonder of Persian urban planning
Persepolis was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Persian Empire built in the 6th century BCE. It included massive terraced platforms and several grand structures built by Darius I and his successors. The most prominent structures included the Apadana palace with 72 columns, the Treasury, the Gate of All Nations built by Xerxes I, the palaces of Darius I and Xerxes, and the Throne Hall. Persepolis was carefully planned and built with cut stone and followed Persian urban planning principles.

Golden ratio
The document discusses the golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion or golden mean. It is a number approximately equal to 1.618 characterized by the property that the ratio between the whole and the larger part is the same as the ratio between the larger part and the smaller part. The golden ratio is found throughout nature and is considered aesthetically pleasing in art and architecture. It can be constructed geometrically and is exhibited in the proportions of the human body as well as structures like seashells, snowflakes, and spirals in flowers. Famous artists like Leonardo Da Vinci incorporated the golden ratio into their works and structures like the Parthenon exhibit it in their dimensions.

Art history lecture 7 greek and roman art
This document provides an overview of ancient Greek history and culture from 900 BCE to 30 BCE. It discusses the major periods from the Geometric period to the Hellenistic period. During these times, Greek civilization developed across the mainland and islands, with early cultures like the Minoans and Mycenaeans. Key city-states like Athens flourished during the Classical period, though wars often erupted between rival cities. The period saw advances in art, architecture, philosophy and more that formed the basis of Western culture. Greek influence also spread widely through the conquests of Alexander the Great.
Euclid
Euclid of Alexandria, known as the "Father of Geometry", lived from approximately 325-265 BC in Alexandria, Egypt. He studied at Plato's Academy in Athens and wrote the influential textbook Elements, which systematized geometry and became the most successful mathematics book ever published next to the Bible. The Elements used a logical structure of definitions, postulates, theorems, and proofs without calculations to present geometric concepts and techniques in 13 books, laying the foundations for mathematics for over 2000 years. Euclid's work in rigorously deducing geometric principles from a small set of axioms established the influence of his ideas to this day.
Grid model
Hippodamus of Miletus was an ancient Greek architect and urban planner who is considered the "father of European urban planning". He is known for introducing the orthogonal grid model of city planning, which divides the city into rectangular blocks with straight, intersecting streets. Hippodamus applied this grid model when planning the city of Piraeus in 462 BC. He also believed cities should be divided based on social class, with separate zones for sacred, public, and private areas. While Hippodamus did not invent the grid model itself, he is credited with popularizing its use in city planning and linking the spatial layout of a city to its social and political organization.

Chapter 9 s oil science
Soil is a mixture of rock particles, decayed plant and animal matter, air, and water that contains countless living organisms. It is essential for life on Earth. Soil has different layers called horizons and comes in different types including sandy soil, clay soil, and loam soil. Sandy soil is light, warm, and low in nutrients while clay soil remains wet and cold with high nutrients. Loam soil combines sand, silt, and clay to avoid the negatives of each type. The properties of soil include its texture, water absorption, moisture, color, pH, percolation rate, and air content.
Acids,bases and salts
Acids and bases are classified based on their taste and reaction with indicators. Acids are sour, turn litmus red, and have a pH below 7. Bases are bitter, soapy to touch, turn litmus blue, and have a pH above 7. When an acid and base are mixed, a salt and water are produced through a neutralization reaction where the acid and base cancel out each other's effects. Litmus paper is a common natural indicator that is used to test whether a substance is acidic or basic based on the color it turns - red for acidic and blue for basic.
