Rezensionen

"From the Golden Rectangle to the Fibonacci Sequences is both a stimulating read ... . Each concept presented in this book is done so with precision, accompanied by appropriate definitions, and followed by rigorous mathematical proofs. ... This book is intended for advanced high school students, college students, and interested readers with a strong mathematics background. ... The chapter closes with over 80 exercises for the reader to accomplish. There are answers or hints provided for each of the exercises." (Tom French, MAA Reviews, September 4, 2023)
