Golden mean to 5000 digits

The golden ratio. That strange and alluring number, approximately 1.6180339887, appearing everywhere from seashell spirals to the Parthenon, from Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man to the petals of a rose. Mathematicians have been captivated by its unique properties for centuries: its appearance in the Fibonacci sequence, its tendency to emerge in the most unexpected corners of nature and design, its irrationality that stretches infinitely without repetition. This volume presents phi to extraordinary precision: 5000 decimal places. Whether you are a researcher verifying calculations, a mathematician seeking a reference work, or simply someone who finds comfort in holding the infinite rendered finite, here is the golden ratio in its entirety. It is not a book to read in one sitting, but a small monument to a number that has inspired thinkers since the Renaissance.
