You know, as I was playing golf I was tormenting myself that I am shooting from the hip on this.

I have to go check some research material and see just who is credited with this Golden Mean. Sure, I could call up any of a few Math Dudes who would know for sure but when I get to the point where I am thinking more about dead Ancient Mathematicians than whether to hit a high Wedge versus a bump and run 9-Iron then that issue must be resolved.

EDIT

After checking a few encyclopedias and only finding the Philosohy of The Golden Mean espoused bt Aristotle aI was abhout to give up when I saw a copy of "Sacred Geometry", an Astro book of my wife's which happened to be on my desk.

Naturally, it is in there but the only reference that I can find as to the Origin of the School of Thought is a vague reference to the beliefs of the Pythagoreans so in one way that supports my thinking that Fibonacci built on the work of Pythagoras.
