Hello,

Today’s lesson was very fascinating because we learnt about the Golden Ratio. I had never heard of this before and it was amazing how “phi” was the answer to so many questions. No wonder its called the Golden Ratio!!!

Today’s lesson was centred about the beauty of maths, mainly the ‘Golden Ratio,’ a single number 1.618…that simply appears everywhere. From the pyramids, to old architecture to even in the Fibonacci sequence, and thus in nature itself, the number remains omnipresent! The idea baffled and even slightly scared me.

I was very surprised at how 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12 can equal -1/12 but I guess I have a lot to learn over the remainder of the year. I don’t really have any topics in mind that I want to learn.

Today’s lesson was interesting because I had never heard of the Golden Ratio rule and how it can make a spiral from that.

Cheers

Today I thought that the Golden Ratio was quite interesting. I had already known a little bit about it, but was interested to find out how it was in so many places, especially in old architecture. I also liked the algebraic reasoning behind it, and how it is linked to the Fibonacci sequence.

sorry for any mishaps of the first post

i was intrigued by the comments and mysteries presented in the first and second lessons on the largest prime and the series.

i finally got the account to work

Hello,
I was away on the first lesson and apparently we did series. It seems really weird that a series with positive numbers can result in a negative answer that is a fraction. Challenge of Mathematics seems very different from normal maths but its interesting and makes you think outside the box.

If I was asked to choose a topic, I would choose Cryptography because it looks like an interesting topic and it will be fun learning about code breaking etc. However I would also like to study all the other topics because they all look fun.

Hello

I learnt maths was more confusing than ever, I mean how does 1+2+3+4+5….. =       -1/12. This was really suprising because what everyone was expecting was a really huge number, and it really stumped us. I don’t really have a particular topic I want to learn, so I guess all of them.

Thank you

Good day to y’all,
Ever since the very first lesson, i am itching to go to the next one. Never had I thought that Mathematics would be this intriguing or interesting, but the mathematically-right answer on the board that was staring me in the face made me question everything about maths. Is -1/12 truly a value we can place on the sum of all natural numbers, against the logic that we are ADDING POSITIVE numbers? An unexpected outcome and one which excites me about the rest of this course. I learned that there is always something new to learn, and that when it comes to mathematics, you shouldn’t underestimate its value and complexity.
Looking through the list, the topic on Paradoxes and also the one on Cryptography caught my eye. I want to learn more about paradoxes simply because of the mystery surrounding them, like an unsolved crime. Cryptography would be a new thing to me, so i look forward to the topic.
