Part 2: • Doodling in Math Class... Part 3: • Doodling in Math: Spir... Re: Pineapple under the Sea: • Open Letter to Nickelo... My personal website, which you might like: vihart.com
To anyone who may be interested, I created a playlist about spirals which intend to extend in the future. The first video is just for the joy in the beauty of the logarithmic spirals. The other one starts easy but then goes deep into the math and the derivation of the equation and the solution of the differential equation inspired by Zeno's Mice problem.

The Greeks had a fascination with the Golden ratio (approximate 1.618), which shows up in nature a lot. The limit of the ratio between adjacent Fibonacci terms is the Golden ratio. You can see that already quite early on; 8/5 = 1.6 and 13/8 = 1.625.
As a musician, it's interesting to know that 8/5 is a just minor sixth interval (813 cents), 13/8 is a neutral sixth (840 cents) which is really close to the φ/1 ratio (833 cents but 1.625 in 2/1 ratio approximation meassurement) I know that it may all sound like white noise if you don't know about music or microtonal music. There has been people using the golden ratio in music tuning, I can share a link if you want
@@boscorner Well, unfortunately I can't share links, because youtube would remove them right after, but you can look up "Star nursery" by Sevish, it is probably what you would hear if you were a little organism and stick your ear to a plant. probably listening the vibrations from the liquids, the minerals and al of that. Sevish makes a lot of microtonal music, if you like that kind of music, don't forget to check his other works !
@@cactusowo1835 bhaha I should have guess you would put towards Sevish. His ability to make great music while exploring so many different musical scales is unparalleled. I tried getting into microtonal music in the past, but it wasn't until I found Sevish that I really had my mind blown. Septillion Reptilians is a personal favorites
Even 10 years later i still love this channel and videos. When you don't want to learn math and procrastinate but you end some how learning analytic geometry and explaining the auric perspectives
this was the first video of yours that i discovered when i was starting high school! i was reminded about it because we’ve started going over series in calculus 2 and the fibonacci series was brought up 😂 just wanted to say your videos made me fall in love with math; now i’m majoring in computer engineering and i wouldn’t have gotten here without your inspiration!

I think about these three videos all the time. I always thought the Fibonacci spiral was interesting, but I barely knew anything about it past the golden ratio. After finding Vi’s channel almost a decade ago I quickly watched all of their videos, but these three stuck out. Realizing that the Fibonacci sequence is a nice pattern or an appealing ratio was so incredible. Learning that a large majority of plants use it to survive gave the sequence, and a lot of math, a very real-world grounded feeling. Math wasn’t just theoretical what-ifs but a real part of the world we exist in. I bought a necklace probably just as long ago from my local planetarium that had the Fibonacci spiral hanging from it and I’ve had to repair it more times than I can count based on how often I wear it, due in no small part to these videos. I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual pendant is the only original piece of that necklace. Anyway, this is a long way of saying thank you to Vi and why learning things like this is so important.
“Tools” is an American metal band pervasively known for incorporating the Fibonacci Sequence in their musical time signatures and lyric patterns, 9/8 to 8/8 etc…I’d like to explore their ironic use of the sequence in their song called “Lateralus,” in the opening lyrics to the song the Fibonacci Sequences were embedded in the numbering of syllables, making the inherent nature of the Fibonacci Sequence applicable beyond the parameters of music, but into writing, poetry and other sorts of linguistic usage. Fibonacci Coriolis Effect: There’s a strong correlation between biological structures and the physics of motion, would “electromagnetism” be an inappropriate metaphor? Because although electricity and magnetism are intertwined, the former is an electric charge and the latter is a force and repel, and it became “electromagnetism” after Maxwell’s juxtaposition of their inner mechanisms in his unified equation. Fibonacci Sequence are in the Coriolis Effects, the sequences are in the non-transparent symmetry of the wind, synonymous to the propagating patterns in pineapple pine-cones outer layers. There’s pairs of spirals widening to the left and right where the numerical systems are found, seems prevalent in the symmetry of Botany. Equivalent to objects in motion on the earths surface that curve in relation to the revolution, Northern Hemisphere deflecting to the right and the Southern Hemisphere deflecting to the left.
i LOOOVE this video! Being able to express the simplicity, importance, creativity, and design of what I know to be a higher consciousness in such a calm, relaxed yet very reavealing fashion was a pleasure! Continue your work and showing this fascinating sequence!
Southern Magnolia, to be slightly more precise :) The flower petals and stamens are also full of fibonacci spirals too! I think some kid also demonstrated that the branching patters of trees are usually fibonacci spirals, and this is actually the most efficient way to capture sunlight
Thank you for this video post. We had a great time looking at this and It was a perfect way to integrate an intuitive teaching of the fibonacci series. I have been trying to find a way to teach this to my 5 year old! We now have days and days of painting / decoding fruit and flowers Thank you Great Job!!
dude i saw this video on tumblr 2 years ago and i think about it pretty often but i didnt know who it was by. Glad i found you again yesterday thru youtube's recommended thing; u have a quirky way of thinking and ur voice is oddly soothing, keep it up, proud of u.
When my husband was courting me, back in 1975, he took me on a hot date to the grocery store to count the spirals on the pineapples to see if they were Fibonacci numbers. They were.
I love what you do... Very much. I look forward to learning a lot from you. I first found you on khan academy, but couldn't find you there anymore. I'm really glad you're here.
I've been watching viharts videos since the third grade, even though I didn't understand them, however, a few days ago, my teacher showed us this one to introduce us to fibonachi, and I've pretty much had it memorised! I'm so happy my teacher knows vihart.
I found your channel today and I just can't stop watching!! Also I have math exam tomorrow but your math is more interesting! You are amazing, I love this, keep making great videos 😁❤
Haha this is AWESOME! I was sitting trying to draw a flower when I saw the Fibonacci sequence and I could suddenly draw it! Then I did a little search and glad I found you! Thank you lovely human! ☺️💛🌻
Thank you for this 3 part series! It only goes to show that there is nothing random at all, that there is clearly a design and a set of laws and codes that God has placed into His creations. Where there are clear designs, plans and methods that so many different things follow, it's only evidence that there IS a Designer, a Planner, a Creator. Thank you!
So, I have started dividing the equilibreum (not equilibrium) of the devistating bartholemu's paradox. It appears to me that the decimating force of true blood is MASS X ACCELERATION. It occurs to me that if you divide the ratio of the sharpie and multiply by the reciprocal, the pinecone turns inside out... If this strange paramorphic metabolism ceases to turn, you can just go backward towards the exponent that approximates to pi. I'd tell you the rest but your too young. Just a friendly reminder!!
My teacher played this in my freshman algebra class, and I loved it so much that we got his permission to bring in pinecones and glitter glue to make spirally glitter glue pinecones in math class. We got a good kick out of it hahaha. Glad I could find this video again, it just randomly came into my head when someone brought up the fibonacci numbers.
Idk if it's your mic or the fact that I just got these super nice headphones, but your voice is SUPER soothing and made a lot of sense. I wish that every time I get ideas like these I could write them down and explain them like this but I just can't :/
Well, in my school system, it's that you take this test in 1st grade. If you get a certain score or higher on the test, you end up getting an extra class tacked onto your schedule in elementary school (usually taking place during another class) and then, in middle school it ends up being one of your Related Arts. As for high school, I really don't know.
It isn't always determined in first grade. It depends on when the school board decides to test you, if they even decide too. I was coded as gifted in grade 4, but I know many who were coded before and after me. To get into the program there are a couple of tests to take, but some school decide not to give the tests. The tests are usually done in elementary, but if a student in a higher grade shows traits of being a gifted and talented learner, they may or may not receive the tests depending on the school board.Whether the benefit you in college completely depends on what type of gifted learner you are. I've known a few gifted students who've dropped out of high school or college, and even a few who've never even went. Now, if you are a gifted learner and you want to go to college, you may of may not benefit. Gifted classes aren't to give students more work and teach them way more that other students, but to challenge them to think on a higher level. While a regular student may be allowed to use google for a science fair project, the teachers want the gifted students to think of their own and how to demonstrate it with no instructions. While in an essay the teachers would want regular students to just answer and be done with it, they want the gifted students to answer in a more intellectual fashion with more mature or sophisticated ideas. If you take chemistry in college, you wouldn't know more that the other students, but probably be more intellectual with experiment choices or more daring to explore.
Wow, I stumbled upon this. It's been a long time. My teacher in 4th grade showed me and my class this and taught us fibonacci numbers. We actually decided to make the class mascot a slug cat. So yeah, thanks for showing me how fun math was back then.
Thanks for being the first person to make an understandable video of the fibonacci numbers. I didn't quite get where you took the numbers 3 and 5 on the flowers and vegetables from, though, I didn't see anything on those haha
My dad showed this to me 7 years ago, and i think its the source of my interest in math and entertaining educational youtube videos, which is why i'm going to be a math teacher.
I found this video very interesting. I liked how you showed different things that use the fibonacci numbers in everyday items. Who knew that plants use the fibonacci system without realizing it. The thing that still has me confused is, how did you know where the spirals where and where new ones started. After watching this video i just had to go around my house and look for things that used fibonacci numbers. Great way to show people how spirals work.
Imagine Vi Hart is your teacher. She has a keyboard at her desk for her to teach you about music and twelve notes. Maybe she will sing about Pi. She has a giant pack of chalk and every single class it's just her doodling. And every class she goes through 3 different sticks of chalk. Your entire notebook would just be filled with copies of her doodles and your own variation of it. She would probably not give you much homework just to try the stuff yourself. And not many tests either. Just one at the end of the semester. All teachers should be like Vi Hart.
