About the Course

Learn the mathematics behind the Fibonacci numbers, the golden ratio, and their relationship to each other. These topics may not be taught as part of a typical math curriculum, but they contain many fascinating results that are still accessible to an advanced high school student. The course culminates in an exploration of the Fibonacci numbers appearing unexpectedly in nature, such as the number of spirals in the head of a sunflower.

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.

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

I think it would be better if there were better video lessons. and even during the impoverishment, it would be better if they did not impoverish just some rabbits, but the really necessary data that Fibanachi can provide. But the story of Lucas and many other topics was very unclear

Disappointing course. The course is not well-structured (parts of the second part show themselves to be useful only in the third part) and somewhat anecdotal (some more maths of nature would have been welcome). The very monotonous tone of the lecturer doesn't help.

The topic of the course is indeed interesting; however, I think the professor delivers in a way that it's hard to understand.

The contents were good but the presentations were very bad.The class lecture were very boring and you should have avoid the hand written part.You could have made these lectures more digital.I felt so good about learning these things but very disappointed with your service.

while this is interesting, there is a huge chasm between the taught material and the tests, you will need considerable maths knowledge to complete the course work.
