The golden ratio and its conjugate #
This file defines the golden ratio φ := (1 + √5)/2
and its conjugate
ψ := (1 - √5)/2
, which are the two real roots of X² - X - 1
.
Along with various computational facts about them, we prove their irrationality, and we link them to the Fibonacci sequence by proving Binet's formula.
