Strogatz, the NYT, and the Golden Ratio

My latest article for the New York Times Learning Network turning Steven Strogatz’s wonderful “Math, Revealed” essays into teaching and learning resources is out! It’s all about a mathematical idea that has captured humanity’s interest for over 500 years — the golden ratio. Come see how algebra, geometry, calculus, and even dentistry come together in one of math’s most popular numbers.

The piece is freely available here, and also includes free access to the original essay.
