Ratio, Rate and Speed The Golden Ratio, or phi (¢), is perhaps the most remarkable number in mathematics. From the design of plants and animals to how the different parts of the human body are proportioned, the Golden Ratio is significant. Its significance can not only be found in mathematics and biology, but can also be found in arts and arc ecture. Golden Ratio 1+ V5 2 e Look at your hand. The first two sections of each finger (except the thumb) is proportional to the full length of the finger. The lengths are in the ratio 1: . The proportion of our middle finger to our Iitle finger also gives us the Golden Ratio. It has been said that ‘what we perceive as beauty in a person is determined largely by the closeness of their proportions to the Golden Ratio.
