Precious Ratios (Fun with Numbers, #1)

by G. Adam Stanislav

Overview

For thousands of years mathematicians and artists studied the golden ratio. Later they developed the silver ratio. This book develops the general formula for creating any number of precious ratios, compatible with the ideas behind the golden and silver ratios. As an example, it shows how to create and compute the values of the iridium ratio and the platinum ratio. It includes C++ classes to compute the value of any precious ratio, and a sample C++ code showing how to use the classes.
