The Fibonacci Sequence is found all throughout nature, too.

It is a natural
occurrence that different things develop based upon the sequence.

1. Shells

As you may have guessed by the curve in the box example above, shells
follow the progressive proportional increase of the Fibonacci Sequence. Shells
are probably the most famous example of the sequence because the lines are
very clean and clear to see. They are also fun to collect and display. And then,
there you have it! You're own little piece of math.

2. Trees
Tree -- we see them everywhere, but do you look and analyse the structure of
how the branches grow out of the tree and each other? No, because you're
normal and have better things to do. But if you did, you would see the
Fibonacci Sequence evolve out of the trunk and spiral and grow the taller and
larger the tree becomes. Some truly majestic trees are in existence today,
utilizing this pattern.

3. Flower Pistils

The part of the flower in the middle of the petals (the pistil) follows the
Fibonacci Sequence much more intensely than other pieces of nature, but the
result is an incredible piece of art. The pattern formed by the curve the
sequence creates used repeatedly produces a lovely and intricate design.

4. Flower Petals

Flowers of all kinds follow the pattern, but roses are my favorite kind to use as
an example of the Fibonacci Sequence. I like it because the petals aren't
spread out and the spiral is more obvious and clear, like with the shell. The
petals unfold more and more and the sequence increases. Roses are beautiful
(and so is math).

5. Leaves
Leaves follow Fibonacci both when growing off branches and stems and in
their veins. I, personally, find the veins much more interesting and amazing to
look at. Similar to a tree, leaf veins branch off more and more in the outward
proportional increments of the Fibonacci Sequence.

6. Storms
Specifically hurricanes and tornadoes, many storm systems follow the
Fibonacci Sequence. I suppose this is not beautiful, but more interesting. On a
map, at least, hurricanes look cool. I guess we could say this example proves
math can be beautiful and destructive.

7. You!
7.You!

Yes! You are an example of the beauty of the Fibonacci Sequence. The
human body has various representations of the Fibonacci Sequence
proportions, from your face to your ear to your hands and beyond! You have
now been proven to be mathematically gorgeous, so go forth and be beautiful!
...and maybe think math is a little bit better than you first thought?
