pages are part of a multi award winning web site aimed at young people
and their teachers.
WHO provides
the material:
Dr. Ron Knott is a highly qualified mathematician and academic. Currently
a visiting Fellow of the School of Electrical Engineering, IT and Mathematics
at Surrey University, UK. The
author has commercial interests in web education & training.
HOW author
approaches the material:
The author comments that other pages on his site relate to issues which
are scientifically (mathematically) verifiable. This particular section
on Art etc. he sees as containing material which is speculative in nature,
and even controversial e.g. the idea that the golden section is "the
most pleasing shape" could be contested. He warns about elevating
the golden section beyond what is scientifically provable - worth remembering
when visiting special interest sites such as Fibonacci and Faith below.
 FEATURES
relating to Fibonacci:
Excellent treatment of all aspects of Fibonacci numbers for school students
(and others!) can be reached by clicking on the Fibonacci Home page link
at the bottom of Art, Architecture, Music page. Author says site would
amount to over 200 printed pages.
DESIGN of web page:
Mostly made up of long, monolithic text pages with few picture, so does
download quickly. Has linked contents page at top, uses interpage links
and hyperlinks to navigate, with "where to next" navigation
provided at bottom of pages. Some background colour and text contrast
used.
