TOP REVIEWS FROM FIBONACCI NUMBERS AND THE GOLDEN RATIO
This course blends the rational thinking of mathematics and the aesthetics of art in nature. Enjoyed it. Thanks Coursera and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Very neat and well organized, all material at hand. I liked the skipped math bits that the others mentioned, so that I could myself engage in figuring out.
It was a wonderful experience. I have learnt a lot more about Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio during this course. I urge the professor to create more and more courses like this.
The course looks at perfection level, clear and fun. The patience and the generosity of Professor Chesnov throughout the whole course are commendable.
