摘　　要：Since the time of the ancient Greeks, humans have been aware of this mathematical idea. Golden ratio is an irrational number that is symbolized by the Greek numeral phi (φ). One can find this ratio everywhere. It is in nature, art, architecture, human body, etc. But this symbolism can result in a strong connection with mathematical nature. In this paper we will be discussing the connection between Fibonacci sequence (a series of numbers where every number is equal to the sum of two numbers before it) and Golden ratio. Secondly, how this mathematical idea shows up in a nature, such as sunflower and human DNA.Since the time of the ancient Greeks, humans have been aware of this mathematical idea.
